Fun idea, but the story and character in this game are incredibly under written. A lot of fake angst in this ("We were the misfits, the freaks!" Okay buddy, you like video games, and as a 38 year old who grew up in the early 80s that's actually pretty normal even back then). Going into the game the short run time was a plus, not a con, but the trumpeted "Cinematic story" was non-existent. If your story doesn't have heart, and the character(s) are (ahem) two dimensional at best, we're just waiting for it to end (and that it ends on a so-called cliffhanger... a non-existent one that just promises more fake angst later, was a choice). Hire a different writer for part 2.
