The game starts out strong for the first 3 chapters, a game containing mysteries and lots of dialogue options. It got me hooked on wanting to not only progress and find out more but also explore in depth the locations in ThimbleWeed Park. I like the pixel graphical style of the game, there are times where it shinesmore than others such as under the bridge where the body is found. After chapter 3 the games starts to decline in both the story and the where the focus of the game is put. The game pays too much attention to (as other reviews mention) fourth wall breaking, meta jokes and critizing other game developers despite the developers making a game that also has it's flaws. It feels like suddenly one character Delores, is all that matters as most of what you have to do to continue the story now centres on her. The other characters particularly the agents feel reduent after this. Losing their ability to shine as characters. This is reflected come chapter 6 as this same premisis now continues and the dialouge options you have with characters in the town run out. Interactions also give the same dialogue from each character losing their uniqueness and personallities. It certainly feels like the developers of the game lost their passion and drive to develop the game as it progressed and ended up dropping the strong plot lines from the start of the game and leaves them unsolved by the end. The ending confirms that the developers had no interest remaining in this game and without saying it, they ruled out there being a possibility of a sequal. A game With 5 different characters that end up going down one path, where one of the five selected by the developers, is the only character that matters to the mid-late story. The game had great potentional at the start and the opportunity was there to create a unique and interesting story but this did not materalize, instead the story gradually collasping and the developers going for a bland and disappointing ending.
