Another great Rhettoe entry. The pacing is thrilling and the story is gripping and emotional in every way. It's quite a violent story, both in its gore and its political implications. There's a lot to like here, from the well-constructed werewolf lore to the spot-on pacing using the three-act structure. I do have some gripes with the game, however. First, the MC comes across as particularly unlikable, since he has the "FVN protagonist syndrome", where he's weak, naive, nervous, and a bit of an idiot (especially with those scissors). Basically a walking character flaw amalgam. Not sure what Luis sees in him, in all honesty, so the main relationship never felt solid to me. The other thing is, and not to contradict myself with how flawed Oliver is, Luis blamed Oliver entirely for the protest, which leaves a sour taste in my mouth. It wasn't Oliver's fault that everyone followed him. They had free will. And it's really the cops who deserved all the hate and anger. The story ended up being pretty bleak, which is of course an accurate representation of real life, but I can't say I walked away from this VN feeling happier for it. I guess that's the point, and the grisliness will certainly stick with me. Something I do wish had gotten an answer though was, what the hell happened to Randolph? I had actually liked the character. Neither a cartoonishly evil abusive villain nor a loving father. Just... a real person. Then he became a monster at the end? This doesn't even logically follow the rules established by the story (werewolves are born, not made, and they transform when they come of age, not later). I know Randolph isn't secretly a werewolf because he stayed a human every night that Andy sneaked out. Metaphorically... was Randolph the real monster of the story? No. It's Charleston as a whole, a backwards society that isn't ready to accept werewolves. Ie, humans. And what was with Luis' look of disgust at the very end? Just a confusing ending altogether. So although there's a lot to like about this entry, and the horror segments are impeccably constructed, I can't rightly say this story stuck the landing in every way. Bit of a shame because it was almost the strongest entry I've read so far. Still, I think I enjoyed it enough where it's still among the top, especially in terms of the production value, so well done.
