![]() On pacing, I usually expect to be stuck for a bit, then have a big breakthrough where the game moves quickly again for a bit, then get stuck again, repeat. Overall, as a fan of adventure games, this fell short. Less of a “bug” and more a game design thing if you do things in a different order. There was another earlier bug with the phone in Kelly’s room that had me stumped but not permanently stuck. Tested it again, and even though I, the player, know the information, the notebook doesn’t so I can’t progress. I checked a walkthrough because I was totally stuck, and I had already done what the walkthrough suggested. ![]() I ran into a game-stopping bug where the notebook is supposed to update when you talk to a certain person, and it doesn’t. Just about everything you click on has some snide kind of retort like “Im not touching that.” But then you’ll end up using some random object that makes no sense and the protagonist has no trouble agreeing to do these weird things.I think for the right kind of person this is a great game mechanically but not for anyone looking for something more fantastical then a character who just complains all the time and weird things happened to. You have to give your protagonist a sense of danger or at least make them a tad bolder. I get that its a more mature adventure but it ends up feeling like a “spoiled brat in New York” simulator really fast. My gripe is just with the “Im so over being in this game” attitude the protagonist takes is so cliche and her disinterest in doing anything other than griping about the minutia of life is not very effective at sucking you into the story.
