oh nooo I gave the wrong hint this is actually ex-Quantic Dream devs whoops

Note: Rollerdrome is the last game on the list I dislike. Everything's at least mediocre from now on!

Pretty much just played this since I wanted something short to go through while waiting for Xenoblade to come out, and it fulfilled its purpose despite keeping going after what felt like the natural ending point. The game's from ex-Quantic Dream devs, and it's the same type of game, though this one's probably a good bit less interactive than anything they've done. The only gameplay is making choices (which are fairly few and far between), along with maybe half a dozen scenes where there a few things you have to click in the background of a room. The choices in the game are almost all quite good, and seem to have major consequences. I kinda wish there were more minor conversational choices though. Getting to make those in games like these is always fun, even if they don't have any effect on anything. The story of the game is... okay. The first half is pretty straightforward, but the second half is more interesting. The characters are also okay. Really, the biggest attraction is looking at the flowchart and seeing all the possible alternate outcomes for the choices you made. The flowchart's displayed after every chapter, and looking at it always gave me joy.

I've seen a lot of criticism for the graphics, but I thought they were fine, if probably worse than regular 3D graphics would've been. The weirdest thing is how there's a crazy event that happens after beating the game and feels like a cliffhanger. Not sure what the goal is there.

Next game hint: after playing cool music Tetris first, this felt a little bit obsolete.
