[Minor spoilers for the game beyond this point!!! Read at your own discretion]
I finally completed the game after having it downloaded for oh so long. I have to say it perfectly exceeds all my expectations and I'm left with nothing but praises for what chapter 1 has to offer for players. It has all the mystery and allure project kat had with a story and plot that was unique and self-contained enough that you don't need to play project kat to follow along the while still sticking to the idea of "there's always another way" which rung true throughout, even in the most unexpected of times.
Every interaction felt like it had meaning, every dialogue every doorway or transition felt like it had purpose, weight and it all cumulated to an amazing ending.
The art and was as charming as ever and the characters were all intriguing each with their own unique characteristics that made them feel at home in such a strange and sometimes unsettling environment. Which speaking of, I also adore in its entirety.
The puzzles overall weren't too difficult, the ones that could be are able to be skipped which I am immensely thankful for because my inputs seemed super delayed which is likely a result of my laptop and not the game so I won't fault it there. (Although those damn signs can go to hell)
The ending left me with a ton of questions which i hope will be answered!
