gaem bate (main game anyway; I'll save the bonus episode for another time when I need a little LIS fix)

MAJOR CHOICE:
-You didn't tell Rachel the truth.

MINOR CHOICES:
-You killed the plant with soda.
-You accepted David's photograph.
-You didn't have Drew's money at the start of the day.
-You visited the Norths at the hospital.
-You didn't donate to the firefighter's fund. (didn't know you could)
-You convinced Damon that Sheldon was the snitch.
-Rachel didn't meet her mother.

Overall thoughts:
-Unlike the original game, I think I made the "bad" ending choice. Based on that last minor choice, I feel like I could replay this and get a better ending.
-I AM glad that there was a big choice at the end though, like the last one. Though the stakes were much lower, that was generally the feel of the whole game - the stakes were so much lower in this one than the original. And while I do like that it made the whole feel a little bit simpler, it just felt like the rush of the original was missing.
-Additionally, I didn't feel so emotionally attached to this one. In the original, I felt such an emotional attachment to the whole world, the situation, to all the characters, I felt like I really was seeing these people's lives play out in a high-stakes scenario. This one, I didn't feel that. Aside from Chloe and Rachel, who were beautifully written and wonderfully drawn-out, the rest of the cast just felt like they were there. Even the villain in this one, despicable as he was, just didn't draw out the same amount of hatred in me as the villains in the original. Hell, in a week I'll probably forget his name. While I did enjoy some of the arcs, like Drew's and Frank's, nobody aside from the two leads made me feel the way I did about say, Kate in the original. Furthermore, all of the supporting characters in the original were constantly involved. In this one EVERYBODY was absent for long portions of the game.
-But I will say this - the stuff with Rachel and Chloe was unbelievable. The quiet scenes where they just needed to sit and almost didn't need to say a word, the outbursts, the lead-ups to what Chloe would become in the original game, PHENOMENAL.

Overall, I'm glad I played this. It wasn't the original, which as I said in my opening post, I think is one of the most phenomenal works of fiction I've ever experienced, it wasn't remotely close to that level, but it was a nice way to expand upon Chloe's story, and let's face it, she deserved it.
