I was impressed by the first one, the second week feels very different. It's much much wordier, I feel like I'm being talked down to and preached at. Where is the fun, I thought I was playing a drama. The writing went sideways, it's not nearly as interesting. I don't know how to describe it just went into blah blah blah territory and when something sexual does happen it feels like it came out of nowhere, like nothing led up to it. Then it's back to an entirely too long conversation about something I don't care at all about. The characters have lost me. Don't understand what's good about it. The graphics are slightly improved but they were good enough. :/
This game has nice graphics and unfortunately not much else for the price. It's a jigsaw puzzle. You've a piece, it fits somewhere, you put it there repeat forever. The longer you play the longer it takes to find a place to put it. Not enjoyable for me I don't think I really "get it". I wouldn't recommend the game, it's a jigsaw puzzle. You can be awarded new 3d models for the pieces. Some pieces are exceedingly useful like that "water train station" tile (what?) that can be placed anywhere. Others like the two houses on one side, one house on the other side tile that I get non-stop are more difficult to place. Maybe it's a good game if you have nothing else to do but I can't help feeling like I'm too busy to be playing anything like this.
I'm trying to play a game but where's the game? So far this is just story, and it isn't particularly good or interesting I'd be better off watching a movie. It's exceedingly slow to the point of having difficulty paying attention, characters are talking about the most inane things I can imagine and they are repeating themselves over and over again! I just can't seem to wrap my head around the vision. On the other hand it does seem capably put together technically. There are a few very small bugs here and there, but the production is mostly clean. Without a game underneath what's the point of playing this.
As far as I can tell this game doesn't work. After I fiddled with it enough I got it to display fullscreen, and not just one quarter of my screen. However it cannot verify my key, which means I cannot use any online functionality. And when I click on tutorial the whole thing just sits there and does nothing. I found I can drag the bottom border of the popup down to reveal a hidden "close" button that takes me back to the menu. But so far I haven't gotten this game to work, and I'm getting the impression those who made it shouldn't have built what I assume is their own engine for a simple 2d game. Two stars because I'm forced to select a rating.
It's got a nice graphical style, lots of animations and looks pretty. Everything is voice acted and the overall quality of the game is pretty ok. It gets annoying switching between actions constantly and you're going to be clicking, a lot. Characters don't run sometimes, other times run automatically. The edge of the screen doesn't automatically transition when you walk to it, you have to release the mouse and click again. My clicking finger is tired. Some of the puzzles require a lot of walking back and fourth, others require memorisation of numbers or word combinations and if you forget you have to walk back and start a converation again. The writing is actually pretty good, but it's only about as funny as you can get without straying away from overtly PC topics. I'm happy about what I paid but I can't see finishing the game.
