What players say
Very Thrilling Movie Rating: 7.5/10 Think of it as a 1.5 hour thriller suspense where you have 7 endings depending on the choices you make. Production value felt similar to a big budget web series episode, and it exceeded my expectations. This game really needs some quality of life features and bug fixes. Ex - going through all 7 ending is torture, because you can't skip through any story node. Seeing the same...
it was alright, i had fun on the first playthrough. going back for the achievements though was a grind, you can't skip through cutscenes
I honestly do not understand the positive reviews... the choices you make basically do not matter and some of the character decisions / actions are just ridiculous. Definitely cannot recommend this.
