Tender Loving Care

I played it all the way through and I really regret having done so. First off, it's not really a game, per se. You get a bunch of cutscenes, then eventually you have an "exploration mode" where you can move around the house (or office) and poke a very small number of things (most of which are really boring), then you get to a "TAT" which is a bunch of stupid questions which frequently have no sensible answers. Then repeat. So there's not really any gameplay worthy of the name. So it's an interactive story? Well, kind of. The TAT answers do technically influence which ending you get, but the endings are all really similar (probably a budget thing to avoid having to film any more scenes), and there's no obvious connection between your answers and the endings. So it's not satisfying as an interactive story because you can't deliberately influence anything. But is the story good at least? Are the characters interesting? No. The story is nonsense, the characters are inconsistent to the point of being totally inhuman, and we spent a significant amount of the game hoping the finale would feature all of them dying. Also, the pacing is soooooooooooooooooo sloooooooooooooooowwwww it's agonising. The only reason I can think of to play this game is that you're desperately in need of soft-core porn and don't care about the terrible quality and script, but since this review is on the internet you've got better options.
