Anti-thesis of Roadwarden
Roadwarden was a pleasant surprise: a text-based RPG/CYOA mix that knew exactly what it is doing with its presentation and content. Windy Meadow is trying to cash-in on whatever small fandom Roadwarden has developed, but delivers just a banal and shallow VN. While Roadwarden artstyle was minimalistic, WM feels simplistic for turn. While Roadwarden was densely written, WM has just incredibly corny dialogues non-stop about teenage angst. The setting goes trough the standard "explaining too much of everything to ruin the mystery that made it interesting". And worst of all, it's simply boring. After certain point you just don't care anymore and skip dialogues to see the conclusion, while majority of dialog options have zero impact on things. Disappointing
