(Finished through act 2) I assumed that I knew nothing and might not be hearing the truth or was being manipulated. That just added to the mystery and the feeling of importance of choices.
One thing I find myself wondering is how much my choices really matter. A relatively trivial example is the portrait. It was rather important to me to pick a different appearance, but when I said that wasn't me, I got no other choice. A more important example would be the choice I had to make at the end of act 2, which was made for me. Was that because of choices I made earlier, I find myself wondering, or was it not a choice that I had in the long run? Am I already locked into an ending which that choice represents? No idea, lol. I have to play again and see if I can make something different happen there without making an even worse choice, which I'm pretty sure I could have made earlier--but then maybe that wasn't what it appeared either, although I feel like it was....
Lol, in any case, the beginning didn't really make me feel misled.
I enjoyed chapter 3 immensely. Didn't have any problems or feel boxed in by dialogue. DID guess my identity really quickly tho, which may have influenced the kind of choices I was looking for. On second thought, that'snot quite true. I did have to forgive a certain crew members suggestion that I didn't want to forgive.... Really looking forward to chapter 4. :)
That was absolutely delightful and so very well balanced! It's great having so much story content. The stat manipulation feels very natural and not like a grind in the slightest. The characters are all interesting and charming.
I only have two comments. First, while I know from what we're told at the beginning of the game that Nazir is beloved by the common people and a generally good guy, the 'silverware' scene is a bit uncomfortable to me. I think it might be a good idea to make it more clear that the maid was a willing participant, not the victim of a power imbalance and unwanted attention.
Second--and this is probably just me--I was really hoping that the female Alexis would be the same avatar, just with longer hair. Same clothes and face. Sigh. Maybe I've just been watching too much anime. I think I've overdosed on tiny, cute girls.
All in all, this is a wonderful, beautifully high quality demo, and I'll definitely be contributing to the Kickstarter. Well, when I get paid. ;)
Well, so many seem to like this game, I guess I'll try again and see if I can get further. I really enjoyed Halloween Otome and found the characters utterly charming, but I find the premise of the game unpleasant in the extreme, and the characters unlikable. Still...the comments are uniformly positive, so....yeah. here I go to reload..... Edit: Tried Daire's route this time and liking it much better. Edit2: Still don't like the guys, but I do like Mira now, so that's good. It's lovely to see the characters from Halloween again, but I'm not a fan of the mechanic that Mira's stats can derail past victories.
