A mess
This is what you get for over-financing a project way before the job is done. Huge PS:T lover here who backed this by 130€. I really did not expect much, but I hoped I would at least like this. I could not finish the game half way through. If you have to try hard to keep your interest in the story, characters and the world then there is something terribly wrong with the writing and atmosphere. And it's not like my tastes have changed. I've played PS:T two years back and I've been blown away even more than ever before - that's how brilliant the writing and atmosphere was. But I've approached TTON as a completely standalone piece of art with no association to PS:T. I was thinking that will prevent my disappointment. Boy I was wrong. Actually any resemblance and respect to PS:T is what helps this game to stay above water surface. Otherwise the writing here is just overly complex, overly flowery, overly mysterious, overly abundant and in the end overly unnatural, overly uninteresting and overly boring. I also blame audio management for the lack of atmosphere. I've written exhaustive letter to devs and they pretty much ignored every single point even clear bug reports. That's what you get for backing. The score is composed.. or better yet the audio mixed and processed in a way that the result sounds very flat and featureless without any noticeable dynamics or remarkable details and memorable moments as it was in PST. Not only it's barely noticeable but during dialogues where you spent over 70% (!) of all time someone decided it would be good idea if the music is all muffled and almost muted. What is the point of musical score when you spent literally hours and days listening to it in this muffled state? The ambience of people in the area is lacking heavily. Something I loved about PST that you could hear and FEEL you are in a city full of people around you. In Tides people are silent. You go in a tavern and the place is more dead & silent than mortuary in PST!
