from the very bottom of my heart, i'll say this with my full chest. this is easily one of my favourite games ever. beyond the incredible story, it's just a damn good game. i really enjoyed the controls!!! it took a little getting used to, but i just fell in love with them. the restaurant aspect was so much fun to play, and i felt it was the perfect difficulty. just ignore how i was screaming in my groupchat over how bad i was struggling lol. if you want a challenge, try make a perfect service; managing all of the tables is harder than it looks. or maybe it's a skill issue on my end. either way, i thoroughly enjoyed that part of the game.
I won't say much on the ending and story, so as to not spoil anyone reading through the comments, but my god, it was good. the foreshadowing was excellent. i loved replaying it, and thinking "oh. oh." every line/scene. the cast is really interesting, and i love the little details we get about their lives/past. it helps make the world feel more lived-in. the setting was a great choice, and i particularly like the time-period as i believe the main themes are very relevant to that time. manonnnnn i miss you wife come home :broken_heart: . bro vincent is so interesting to me, and i appreciate he isn't cartoonishly evil- the effort put in to make it clear he isn't just doing this for the shit's and giggles did wonders for the narrative. BUT NONE CAN TOP RODY-NATION WOOOOO. loved rody's character so much. he doesn't have a huge character arc in the story (we do get hints at a character arc before the story occurs), but he was a brilliant protagonist!!! i haven't seen many explore characters like him before, so it was already going to interest me, but the execution was superb. the tension in the endings was also really good!! my heart was beating so fast i could hear lmao. the horror was well-done
all around, a fantastic game. can't wait to replay it :)
okay but we must have words about the jumpscare i got when i just saw an eye in the wall. nearly fell out of seat with how i launched back/pos
