What players say
Overall: 6/10 Story: I like the general atmosphere of the story. The vibe is easy to get on board with, it can get pretty emotional at times, and I respect how Tyler as a character has nuance and that his entire personality isn't just that "Tyler is trans." However, I'd be lying if I said I was a fan of the overall narrative itself. The reason I say this is because the writing can feel a little heavy handed/overly...

If you liked Detriot Become Human's style of game play but wish it was a little more queer then try this
there's a lot of padding and the story itself is pretty simple that i don't think it is needed to have 10 hours of it
