      Yeah the first couple days of struggle turn off a lot of players early (including me). You just have to bear w it

        I think the farthest I've gotten was Kim showing up and heckling me for not looking at the body hanging in the back of the hotel?

          tbf it was a pretty big fuck up, but he does end up forgiving you (probably) and the murder does get solved (spoilers). Also someone helps you find your gun.

      Similar experience here but I played a few more hours than that and somehow became both a feminist and a communist in the game without really trying

      Really need to go back to it some time

      I started it up once, got through three novel's worth of text before I even made it down the stairs, and then shut it off because it was either that or put a bat through my screen.

          No it was either shut the game off or destroy my computer; reading a library's worth in text was not an option. If this game got a movie they'd have to have a narrator talking literally the entire runtime of the movie to relate all that info and then have him keep talking through the credits and like many, many hours after the movie's done running and everyone left the theater to convey all that, and then the sequel would just be narrator finishing up what he only just got started doing in the first movie.

          EDIT: Like no really, I wanted to step into the game and batter the main character over the head with a bat and start screaming "shut up shut up shut up"; I ain't playing until they release a 'took his meds' version of the game.

            Interesting way to interact with media! I hope they release a mentally-stable version of the game so you can play it, because it really is quite an experience

      I stopped and started it a couple times myself. It's easy to get kinda stuck just wandering around. But I still think it's an amazing game and it's definitely worth playing and finishing imo.
