I want to preface this by saying that I'm not really the target audience for this game, as I do not want to date everything. Being straight the roster is essentially split in half, but even then there was really only 1 man that truly interested me. BUT THEN the fucking game locked me out of his quest, which might have been a bug (?), though either way that's what made me drop it. Sure, some of the others were fun, but not interesting enough to keep me wanting to play (or I already did their storyline). They're often very over the top. And then there's some that made me want to burn the house down fuck you toilet man and shower guy.

Originally, I figured I'd give this game a shot anyway, since I heard it's fun either way and that you can go for friendship and enemy endings as well. The problem is that I found that going for the friendship ending with a character often requires flirting with them or letting them flirt with you, there doesn't always seem to be a good middle ground there, which led me to just skip most of the dialogue from female characters, even if it is well written.

Of course, I think this is a great game for anyone that likes this style of game, especially if you find more characters to go for. The writing is good and the designs are cool for the most part, as far as I've played. Like I said, this simply isn't a game for me, but I think it's solid.

Sam Lake my goat, it's very clearly a Remedy game through and through. On par with the first Alan Wake, though I feel like they switch their strengths. The story here didn't really get me like Alan Wake did, but the gameplay was really well done. I just felt like the hiss was something of a worse version of the dark presence. I wonder though, with Control Resonant coming out soon, if it will also follow Alan Wake 2's footsteps and be incrementally better than its predecessor.

Here, have something from this game that I've been obsessed with: https://youtu.be/SRQGOtBVELo?si=7fXCqxMgjJ_AlKce
