When I first tried this game, it was more so out of morbid curiosity. I thought the art style looked odd and pretty much summed this game up as a stereotypical edgy experience with a bit of porn sprinkled in.
So, taking all of this, to say I was surprised by Superhuman would be an extreme understatement. I'm pretty sure that comparing the impact of this game to a truck hitting a brick as its quality slammed into me would still be an insufficient summary.

The story is phenomenal. Not as in "good for a porn game", but more so along the lines of "this game doesn't even need to be a porn game with a plot this good". Without spoiling too much, I can simply say that the layers upon layers of mystery combined with the comedic, yet serious atmosphere is blissful to experience. Characters are written really damn well, with even throwaway ones often piquing your interest with their backgrounds. If I were to splurge every compliment I had for the writing in this game, I'd be here all day.

Despite my first misgivings about the art style, I've come to love it. From an outsider's perspective, it looked rough and strange, but once you start playing the game, it fits in perfectly. The edgy theme that I thought emanated from it? Melted into the background as Superhuman's atmosphere soaked it in. The only problems I ever had with it were with certain characters, and that was all due to personal preference, not due to their quality and how they fit into the game.

Then there are the lewd bits. Would it be a surprise at this point if I said they, too, were fantastic? Because they are. I can't speak much beyond this, since it's all down to your personal preferences (although WeirdWorld did a pretty damn good job implementing the scenes. To put it shortly, expect to plot to come before the sex.)

The fact that I never meant to write all of this just goes to show how much this game can really suck you in, despite its first appearance. I suggest anyone reading this to give it a try if they're feeling off about it, Superhuman is genuinely a diamond amongst the rough... and if WeirdWorld is reading this, you've made a pretty fucking amazing game here. I can't wait to see more, and wish you luck!
