A disappointing and poorly plotted game.
The game is technically well-done as an old-school adventure game, but the story has massive holes, and one gets the impression that it was originally planned and conceived as one story, but, perhaps because it was too short to meet the price target, a second, more elaborate, not very-well-thought-out story was tacked on to the end. The main character, viewed objectively, is unlikeable and selfish. Her motivations appear inconsistent with her actions, and despite the story assuring us otherwise, she doesn't really grow at all as a character. Her surprisingly loyal sidekick is a cartoonish stereotype; I can only attribute that to the developer, as this was a one-man effort, and his background probably means he has little real knowledge of America in the 90s or born-again Christianity. Perhaps the fact that the game is a one-man effort is also why the story ends up being so bad, with repeated use of deus ex machina to advance the latter half of the game and resolve the plot. The art quality and sound is good -- I believe, in fact, those are the only parts the developer didn't do himself. As a $5 title, it would be acceptable. As a $15 title, you should pass. I'd recommend to the developer to work with an experienced writer next time. In short, I cannot recommend the game right now. I give it 3 stars for technical quality and visuals.
