It looks nice, but it's so janky to play sometimes. I wish there was more to the story than... what's there, which isn't much. The dialogue choices were pretty meaningless as well.

In fact the characters and writingI simply found this to be a boring game designed around a character that I could not relate to in any way. In fact the characters and writing in general just seemed to be too far removed from reality to really get into, which is a bad thing as the game seems to be entirely centered around it's story and character development in what is supposed to be a humble and realistic setting. In fact I think the lack of any real genuine humble mountain town feel is what works against it the most. It's just kind of a ridiculous story with ridiculous characters, but in the most boring way possible.… Full Review »
