When I was watching the play through, the cast started off pretty unlikeable. But they can kind of grow in you.

Absolutely none of them grew on me. The mostly oscillated between annoying and terrified (and being terrified doesn't automatically net sympathy from me if I already don't like you from your earlier scenes. At that point I'm mostly just hoping the monsters eat you).

Occasional moments of charm from characters like Mike and Emily don't really help humanize them when earlier scenes have already implied they're kind of a loathesome human being. And even characters like Chris, who are clearly being presented in what is supposed to be a more sympathetic way, are kind of terrible people if you're paying close-enough attention to the overall story.

Sam's about the only worthwhile person in the entire group (apart from Beth and Hannah, who don't really count).

Ultimately, I finished the story thinking that the most satisfying ending would have been if Josh just straight up killed everyone and managed to get away with it somehow. Most of them deserved it.

Especially since you can control the relationships of people...

Yeah, but if you already hate most of the people, most relationships that stem from those people are also going to be of very little interest.

Also, you don't really have as much freedom to control those relationships as much as you think, because in most cases, it's really just a choice of whether a pre-established relationship works out or not, and breaking off any of those relationships usually gets at least one member of the pairing killed (without you having any control over which one). Like how calling Emily out for her bullshit basically gets Matt killed.
