Do you like Chloe or not?
What this is: A choose your own novel in 3D environment, some simplified puzzles (move the box over, stand on it to reach item), high school drama, simplistic butterfly effect time travel story. Liked: * banger soundtrack * good looking visuals, it has a timeless cartoon feel * Kate's bullies subplot (first half of the game) is actually interesting * very nice voice acting, especially Chloe (Ashly Burch) * I find it a brave design decision to expect _all_ players liking a certain character * some of the characters are well-written, up to chapter 4 Didn't like: * final decision retroactively makes earlier decisions irrelevant * time travel effects are mostly used for shock value, and are never explained. I found the euthanasia scene especially distasteful * the game works with emotions, and expects the player to like Chloe to a certain extent. If this is not the case (which happened with me), emotional impact is nearly non-existent * which is a problem, since Chloe is not easy to like. Very selfish, reckless, irresponsible. * the protagonist is quite annoying. Judgemental internal monologue, quick to accuse others without thinking * writing quality takes a deep dive later in the game, especially in chapter 5 Recommended? Maybe. I would actually recommend it to younger players (under 23) who are closer in age to high school drama. If you are looking for interesting environmental interaction, player agency or fun puzzles, you will not find them here.
