The story and soundtrack really made this game for me. I felt like I was watching a movie the whole time and I cried throughout. Now I get that the dialogue for Neil and Eva was supposed to be funny comedic relief and maybe they are funny to other pleayers but to me it almost ruined the experience. I actually almost quit the game many times because of their unfunny dialogue. The characters themselves would be lovable to me if there was better balance with their comedy in this game. Another issue I had was the game always telling me where to go with arrows and telling me how to walk every time a new scene ended. It was too hand holdy for me but that's a personal preference. Otherwise this game is worth playing for the story and soundtrack alone. Definitely good for players who want a game that's light on puzzles and gameplay elements with a focus on story.
TLDR: Great concept for a game but I overall didn't like the nonsensical puzzles and drop in story quality in the later half of the game. I struggled to finish it but was invested in the story which kept me going. Get the game on sale if you want to try it out but I don't recommend it at full price. I completely forgot about this game until gog did a free giveaway of it (I got it free which is why I played it) but I remembered loving the art style, tone of the story, and overall concept of the main character looking for his girlfriend. So I was excited to finally try this game out now that it's free. Now I'm not normally someone who plays puzzle heavy games but I thought this one would have puzzles that at least made sense, even if I was slow to solve them. Several times I was forced to go to a guide to figure out a puzzle because many of them are nonsensical. I found myself losing interest in the game by the time I hit the club because the writing became strange and lost the simplicity and tone I liked. Instead this very strange story begins to emerge and it feels... all over the place? It also didn't help that the main character was unlikable (to me at least) because of his selfishness. I won't spoil how he's selfish but, yeah he is. I was disappointed that a game with great potential was overall ruined by the puzzles and story writing in the end. I'd feel worse if I paid for it.
