OK COMPLETED A SECOND PLAYTHROUGH: FOR A GAME THAT IS BASED IN ITS CORE AS 'A CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE' WITH REPLAYABILITY BEING ITS MOST ENTICING COMPONENTS, I DON'T THINK IT DID A GOOD JOB; I THINK IT DID A DECENT ONE-
AT THE END I COULD KINDOF SEE HOW THINGS COULD GET FUN WITH DISCOVERY AND ALL, AND I WAS READY TO GIVE IT A 7.2, BUT IM LEAVING IT BACK AT 7.0, WHY? BECAUSE THE ENDING CREDITS IS OBNNNNOXIOUSLY RETARDED WITH UNENDING UNENDING 'THESE DEVELOPERS THINK THEY CREATED A 10/10 WHICH IT CLEARLY IS NOT' LIKE THIS ANNOYING MOUTH FLAPPING GOES ON FOR I THINK 10+ AGONIZING MINUTES AND IN FACT I'M TYPING THIS AS THEY'RE DOING THIS ANNOYING BACK-AND-FORTH; I WAS NOT GOING TO INCLUDE THIS PART BECAUSE IT'S A 'END CREDITS BONUS' TYPE OF THING, BUT NOT WHEN IT'S 10 MINUTES OF STRAIGHT VERBAL ANNOYING DIARRHEA!
NEXT PLAYTHROUGH MIGHT NOT HAPPEN OR IF IT DOES LATER LATER ON; I WANT TO TRY 'NO ONE SURVIVES'!
7.0/10!
TURNS OUT THERE IS A PSEUDO-WALKFAST BUTTON L1 BUT IT ALSO TURNS OUT THERE ARE NO WAYS TO SKIP CUTSCENES AND THAT IS IRRITATING
MANY OF THESE BINARY CHOICES ARE INCONSEQUENTIAL AND THAT IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST PROBLEM OF THE GAME ALONG WITH A VERY BLAND GENERIC STORYLINE (THIS TIME HAVING TO DO WITH WEREWOLVES)
THAT EMMA BODY SCENES WERE THE BEST PART OF THE GAME ;)
6.5/10*!

TWO GAMES THAT COME TO MIND TO GET RELATIVE VALUE ARE:
HEAVY RAIN
AND SOME OTHER GAME THAT CAME AFTER THAT BUT IT WAS TRASH BUT IT HAD SOME NOTABLE ACTRESSES
SO, DEFINITELY NOT BETTER THAN HEAVY RAIN, SO WILL NOT GET AN 8.0+
PROBABLY NOT AS BAD AS THAT OTHER GAME I FORGOT THE NAME OF IT, BUT - AND THIS IS BAD - IT'S SO FAR NOT T H A T MUCH WORSE THAN IT, SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT A UHH 6.5 - 7.3 HERE ARE SOME THINGS TO MENTION IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:
I KNOW BEING ABLE TO RUN WILL KILL THE SPEED OF THE GAME, BUT WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO FIND EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY (ALTERNATIVE IS TO BASICALLY GO ON YOUTUBE AND LOOK EVERYTHING UP) BUT SLOW-WALKING THAT PUTS A MAAAAAAJOOOOOOR B O R I N G ELEMENT INTERMITTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE GAME.
STORYLINE FOR THE FIRST 2 HOURS IS A VERY SLOW GRIND, BUT FINALLY STARTS TO PICK UP WHEN I THINK IT'S ALREADY MORE THAN HALF DONE WITH THE GAME
THE TAROT CARD THING I AM TAKING MAJOR POINTS AWAY FOR - THERE WAS ONE THAT WAS HELPFUL BC I SAW A VISION OF SOMEONE'S HEAD GETTING DECAPITATED SO QUICKLY SHOT WHEN IT HAPPENED, HOWEVER FOR EVERY SINGLE OTHER ONE OF THEM THEY PROVIDE N O!! VALUE: ONE HAD A SHINY JAIL CELL WHERE ONE OF THE GIRLS GOT OUT W WHAT LOOKING LIKE SHOOTING, SO I THOUGHT SHE SHOULD GET A WEAPON OR SOMETHING; BUT AGAIN, FRUSTRATINGLY VAGUE AND QUICK
ANOTHER WAS ONE SOME DUDE GOES TO OPEN A VAN SO IM LIKE (OK SO NO OPENING VAN) BUT THIS FUCKER OPENS IT ANYWAY, SO WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE TAROT CARD? MAJOR MISSED OPPORTUNITY IN FACT HAVING THAT ON THERE WAS A -.5 - 1.0 DEDUCTION
WONKY AIMING CONTROLS
STORYLINE IS SATISFACTORY AND WHILE IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOR A GAME LIKE THIS, EVERYTHING ELSE IS UNSATISFACTORY!

OMGOODNESS TURNS OUT I COMPLETED THIS ASSESSMENT AND WAS LIKE 20 MINS AWAY FROM COMPLETING THE GAME; VERY SHORT- SO THIS IS BASICALLY AN INDIE GAME THAT I WOULD GIVE AN 8.3/10, BUT NO, FULL-BLOWN PS5 69.99 AND SO I HAVE TO GO GIVE IT A 6.8!
7.0/10*!
