The game is just fine at best. The worst of this kind of game, aside from Little Hope. Which is only bad because of the mandatory twist ending.
The game was too slow, boring at times. The story itself is somewhat interesting but it drags so much that at times it feels like a chore. Easy puzzles and wandering parts just to pad time.
There's a lack of likeable characters. Sam and Linda were awesome, and Madison was okay. Jaime was decent but kinda whiney, though for good reason. I didn't like Chris at all, and Robert I wanted to like but he was super bland. The drama between these characters is just irritating and not fun. With character interactions giving choice A or B as options but neither are good and you just wish you could choose C.
Stan is such a tool I love him for his entertainment and Bonnie is also really cool, BUT they don't have the same opportunities as others ...
The ending also sucks, prioritizing lore and story which I understand but no matter what, some of the characters won't get a happy ending. For a game that has the player in control of how the story goes, it's extremely restrictive.
If you like until dawn, the Quarry, and the dark pictures games, id recommend it. Also if you're a fan of DBD. Just don't expect anything great. The game is not good, but it's okay. Id wait for a price drop, certainly not worth $40.
