It's a beautiful labor of love with a great story. And even if I personally don't like what happens in chapter 2 and it was enough to make me put the game on the shelf, it didn't ruin my memories of chapter 1. I don't think I'll be coming back for chapter 3, but- Regardless I wouldn't allow this review to stop you from at least trying chapter 1 as long as you approach chapter 2 with an open mind.

So! I had to know if the creators cared and...
