I thought the game was very unique and enjoyed the simple illustration style (which causes you to use your imagination).
It was my first time experiencing a ‘novel game’ but I thought the concept was very interesting and enjoyed what I did play!
I liked Francis' route the most.
I think I enjoyed Luk and the Ghost’s characters the most. I had always been quite fond of the Ghost mostly just because I really liked his English name, but I also enjoyed the development of his character in his track, and how the game allowed you to learn a bit more about why he was so stubbornly loyal to Yeung and suspicious of Yvet. I enjoyed Luk’s rough and tough character and was then disappointed (because I translated this one first) to find that he wasn’t the only guy Yvet got together with during the game!
I found the parallels between Shawn and Johnny interesting, and also enjoyed the Dog Head track and seeing a different side to him (as a parent) than what is seen in the other tracks. I also enjoyed Luk and Shawn’s brotherly interaction - they were fun to translate!
I also enjoyed the scene in the hideout where they are all cooking together and talking, and how people from different sides and who didn’t relate well to each other begin to connect and end up on the same team.
