The episodic graphic adventure game was a critical darling beloved by (nearly) all who have played it with a loyal cult following, has sold over 3 million copies and launched both a prequel and an upcoming sequel.

Wherein a teenage hipster girl goes to college and quickly discovers she has supernatural powers and then also discovers that everyone is about to die while also trying to balance being the weird unpopular kid in college and making new friends while fixing old friendships.

It also has the weird distinction of being hugely popular among 12-19 year old girls and 20-39 year old men. Which is a weird pair of demographics to hit simutaniously.

However most importantly part 1(of 5) of the game is free so there is no reason not to check it out as you will know by the end of it whether you want to see more.

It's popular and it's free (at least to check out) so why haven't you?

I'm not really into adventure games anymore

I did play Vampyr, though, which I think is by the same developer, and I enjoyed it.

It's closer to a Walking Simulator than an adventure game.

It's just they are not honest enough to market themselves as one

I disliked how dumb her friend was and that you had to go along with her bad decisions. Everything with the gun was just ridiculous. None of the characters made me want to like them and my decisions didn't seem to truly matter.

several of them. mostly from BtS at the moment like
"Don't mess with me". i've almost learned the full lyrics to that one by now
"obstacles".
the refrain on "No Below"
and parts of "Bros"

It depends on what kind of person you are.

If you are cynical like most of CE is, it's not that depressing at all. Especially compared to other games that are aimed at cynics.

If you still have an innocent disposition and get caught up/immersed in video game stories then yeah without spoiling anything, it's depressing.

Honestly I'd say try part 1 and by the end of it you'll know if you want to play more or if it's not for you.

Isn't it a PC game and less than 15 years old?

If so, that would be the main reason.

idk if I could play through it, then, since with some exceptions, the older I get, the more I prefer gameplay to story

Well part 1 is free if you wanna try it but no one is going to convince you that it has good gameplay.

Gameplay is "Walk around and look at things/talk to people"

though, i had one issue with it.

i loved it the first playthrough, was completely in to the Chloe/Max relationship
but on my second playthrough, i just felt like Chloe was an ass most of the time, was not realy into it at all.

i'm really hoping the same thing won't happen whenever i replay BtS

probably for the same reason i didn't see any off it in LiS. i was basically watching the story through the character, and since they don't see it, i don't either.
second playthrough, i'm more able to see a new, less emotinally attached perspective.

i was annoyed at her as fuck when she did the thing at end of ep 1, though.
