Great music, decent story, shit fucking gameplay. It's a walking simulator.
It has some nice porn. And that's about it.
I thought the opening few hours were brilliant. It gets boring and mundane shortly after and it just kinda ends when it gets interesting again. I found the main cast to be largely unlikable with May being one of the most unpleasant characters I've ever played in a game. I've heard people say that it's better if you can relate to her, but honestly if you relate to May you're either an anxiety ridden wreck of a person, or you're a narcissistic prick.
I didn't mind the band sections but there's like 4 of them in the game. I liked the OST.
Poor last act to already weak story, protagonist has terrible personality, music is pretty good and art is okay.
It was OK, but they fucked up with the whole cult thing
>you're either an anxiety ridden wreck of a person, or you're a narcissistic prick
There's more of each around you than you'd ever be ready to believe
really enjoyed it until it became about a cult and all that stupid shit at the end.
*kills your composer*
*gets away with no repercussions*
heh, nothing personnel kide.
but he killed himself, right?
Incitement to suicide is criminal here in my neck of the woods.
The dream sequences were fucking torture
He did but it was shortly after his entire career/livelihood was completely shitcanned thanks to a certain rather infamous person, especially around here, MeTooed him. It's also worth noting that this person is a pathological liar and a bit of a cunt. However while this is well-known to most people here, on twitter and in the indie-dev scene they tend to believe her every word despite a lot of evidence to the contrary. Unfotunately going into more detail would mean I'd have to open the gaymergate can of worms again and you really don't want to go down that rabbit-hole, at this point it's not worth it. Just know that Z Quinn is a pathological liar and you'll be good.
I thought it was okay. It wasn't that good, but it was different.
I'm an anxiety ridden wreck, and I related to that aspect of her a lot. Her dickass prick attitude was unrelatable though.
He slept with Zoe Quinn. I'm surprised he managed to live with that disgust for years but in the end it finally got to him.
>Hurr durr occultism BAD
When will it end brothers?
This game was Zoomers vs Boomers before either became a popular meme
OST was good, story seemed to be about to get good but it got crap instead, ]and I miss the main characters, minus Mae
I only related to her as far as the clueless social blunders aspect went. Though they did dial it back a bit when it comes to character route endings. Doesn't make their actual cringe any more bearable though.
Didn't it do that cringey "be gay do crimes" shit that tries to make petty shoplifting a form of protest against 'the man'?
This pretty much.
It made me feel feels though, so that's something.
Had some good mystery building with the severed hand and then it just never follows through. Waste of time that doesn't even manage to properly convey the shitty message they ended up going with.
Yeah I hated how the opening couple of hours set up a proper small town mystery then it devolves in to millennial woes
Kinda, but it also pointed out that Mae is a hypocritical cunt and her ancom LARPing doesn't actually help people, unlike Bea's unionization
Gay and boring.
It did, but I felt it at least fit in the context of stuff being said by a character with actual ADHD behavioral problems. There's a lot of moaning by certain characters about capitalism and how terrible their bosses are, then they don't bother to do their jobs and start breaking company property. It's why I can't take the criticism that NITW is pro-communism seriously. The story is more pro-entropy, that sometimes life is shit and will stay shit. I didn't like the ending because in a way it betrays what is has been establishing; Possum Springs will die and fade away and that's natural. The villians were the group artificially prolonging the town, and only driving it deeper into despair.
Mae and Greg are cunts, Bea deserves better friends.
Beatrice was the most realistic and best character by far.
I felt bad for her.
Good porn
Nice visual and music, dialogue is kinda cringe and the story was OK until the last 3/4 of the game. The cult of boomers shit came out of nowhere and at the end nothing got resolved.
