Jan. 2025
All the fun of B-movie thriller, with healthy doses of humor and wit scattered between cheesy emotional scenes. That, on its own, wouldn't sell this experience, but what makes this phenomenal is how it tells a somewhat non-linear highly intertwined story that wouldn't really be plausible in any other medium. Combined with the absolutely jaw-dropping plot twists at every turn, this game is sure to keep you entertained throughout, whether it's hysterical edge-of-your-seat screeching or hearty laughs. There are only two significant issues: the inability to fast-forward through the story (even the fastest autoplay is pretty slow) and that sometimes you can get a bit stuck not knowing which timeline choices would progress the story. Paying attention to the details and hints is crucial to keep the game flowing. When you're stuck, looking up a walkthrough can even be a bit difficult because the plot flags are fiddly and interdependent sometimes.

Great story. At first the 'keep out' gameplay mechanic seemed unnecessary, but after a few hours I realized that it's to make sure you advance each character's story at the same pace.

As an excellent story teller,428 seized my mind for nearly 20 hours. Although it's an "old" game which was published in 2008,it's narrative mode which allows us to read 5 characters' story is so charming! NEVER GET TIRED OF THE STORY!

Great game. Both writing, and the presentation excels, even if it looks a bit jarring at first. The game also balances serious and comedic tones very well, similarly to the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series. Only gripe with it is the bad ending hunting (optional) at the end, and no settings for text-speed.
