im not even past chapter one and already this game feels like a fever dream after a week long acid trip bender, every other time an event happens i just go "what the fuck is happening, why the fuck is this happening" and then the characters just roll on after doing absolutely insane out of pocket shit with a shrug... im still gonna keep playing but seriously ya know?
This game is shockingly good. I was going into it expecting pretentious edgy bullshit, and it has that, but it also has a lot more going on. The story doesn't bend around the protagonist view on life in fact the story goes out of its way to show that these more going on than Daine's personal spiral. I was worried about the transition into chapter 2 dropping Daine's personal story in favor of focusing on the urban fantasy elements. Instead, it does a really good job of expanding the world Daine lives in without losing focus. The writing has also all around improved in chapter 2. The only thing I really hope for is a reduction in scale, I want to see where this story ends and there's already so many different thing going on that I'm worried it'll become too much. All in all, one of the best written games in the adult game genre.
Detached development has slowed a bit on account of balancing work/life QoL stuff, and the increasing complexity of chapter 2 events, but 0.17.0 will hopefully be available for Early Access at the end of the month, meaning 0.16.0 will be publicly available then.
