About the game

4/10 Didn't finish the game. It crashed and I wasn't bothered to repeat the 20min of the lost gaming. Most of the cast can't act to safe their life. The story is mediocre at best. Dialog... clearly written by a person with English as a second language. It's not that bad but very noticeable.
I purchased this game for 2 euros, which, on the minimum wage in my nation, will take about 10 minutes to earn.
