A very poor sequel
Whereas the first game felt very open ended, had an awesome and mysterious plot, and made you enjoy every step of the way, this game instead railroads you, forcing you to find the ONE way you can beat the game. It ruins the climax and any enjoyment you could get. There was a poor job writing the script, as you can tell there are way too many times where it says something which doesn’t quite line up with your other. You can tell that they didn’t really test play the game because if they did they certainly would’ve fixed some of these things. the Taylor also becomes a very annoying character as they take one of his many personality traits from the first game and turn his character into a very one sided guy who only makes pop culture references literally every other time he speaks, and it just gets really really annoying.Show lessSneakyNinja4782
Your choices don’t matter
Not as good as the first, which you must play before playing this one. Your choices don’t really matter, as you’ll tell him to do something and he’ll do what he wants to do anyway. Or you’ll choose the wrong path and he makes it clear you’re going to get killed and asks you to confirm your choice (just like the first). I didn’t die on my first play through (I got the best ending first try) and I replayed it 4 times to try and find alternate endings, but all I could find were obvious deaths. Still, the gameplay is good and they are short stories worth reading. 4 stars.Show lessZero Ehxe
Just as enjoyable as the first part
I have to preface all my reviews of these games with: stuff like this normally isn't my thing. I don't enjoy the digital choose your own adventure type games at all, and on the surface that is what these seem to be.. But they're not. You are actually communicating with the hero of the story. Granted you can't choose what to say, but the options they give you work very well. You get invested in the story and the character's well being.
In this particular episode, you're following up on the life of someone from another episode. It was honestly nice to hear from him again and see what he was up to. His personality was still the same, and I liked this virtual person enough that I was concerned for his safety. The plot was interesting and not too transparent, and the varied wait times between messages seemed appropriate and made things funner.
If you're on the fence about these games and have the change to spare, I would say go for it. I was very hesitant at first and ended up going for a package deal with several of these games and I'm really glad I did. I think they are now my favorite game app on my phone.Show lessAerincal
