Wow, Vincent has had the worst two weeks ever.
For this kinetic novel, the story and writing are very engaging! It's a good political thriller/mystery (where the mayor also turns into a monster!!!). I really enjoyed Vincent and Maria's relationship, they're very sweet together.
The art style for the sprites is fantastic. The details in the clothing wrinkles and Murphey's hair, for example? AMAZING. The thick outlines instantly reminded me of graphic novels/comic books and really lend to the drama of the story.
The UI is nice, especially the side overlay for the phone calls, that was a really nice touch.
The combination of both NVL and ADV modes worked fine for the most part, but it was jarring in some scenes when it went back and forth between them quickly.
The game is marked as in development so I'm not going to nitpick, but the first half of the game is a smoother experience overall than the second half. Regardless, this is a good game and I enjoyed it a lot!
