This is a great game. The personality of Taylor and the choices you must make To keep him alive is a very unique experience.
Got this on a friend's recommendation. It was a lot of fun! Great story and really cool way of interacting. I responded to Taylor much faster than I ever do my actual text messages 🤣
The protagonist was intelligent and is humorous. I felt invested in his well-being. This is an amazing game.
It was different. It's like a CYOA but you're not in the lead of the story you're just kind of giving suggestions to an NPC. I don't recommend this for anyone with short attention spans because it's a text/dialogue heavy game. I'm looking at everyone who gave this game 1 star. 🙄 It's a short story. Frankly I don't understand the criticism against it being a short game when you're paying so cheaply for this. People have spent 60+ USD on console games just to complain for an hour on YouTube.
Incredible
Such an underrated classic. The game forces you to wait which I appreciate bc I can stay glued to a game for hours. So I can do anything while waiting for it to start again. The story is amazing, and can be very stressful and anxiety inducing
Narrative fun; it's done well. Well written. Unlike any other text-based game I've played. Music is fantastic. I'm playing this, I think, for the third time (over the last few years. I don't remember anything but the broad narrative strokes). I'm also excited to play the sequel again, and the unrelated (?) snow one. Don't spoil it for me. It's just good stuff. Play it, meet Taylor, have stressful choices. Joke around with each other.
It was ok. I didn't hate it but I also find these Twine-style stories with so many failstates seemingly arbitrary and impossible to complete without either a guide or so many playthroughs that I'm sick of it by the time I do get to the end. I know it's difficult in a mobile space but I wish this was more sandbox-y and less railroaded. Something like Planetfall by Infocom. I finished it, but I liked the concept more than the execution. I don't think I'll check out the sequels tbh.
How can you care so much about someone you don't know, and who you know (logically) isn't even real? Incredibly well done.
I love the concept and the feel of just playing it! 😺😺😺😺😺😻😻😻
