excellent narrative game. super worth it on sale

It's like if "Life is Strange 1" took place in one house and you could start from any point. If you enjoy tweaking other's people relationships until their fate completely turns around, look no further. The game is good. You walk around the house, watch visual recordings of tenants interacting with each other, and sometimes make choises for them, which will open new timelines with new choices. Items in the present might change, appear or disappear, keys get revealed, etc. Character's drama is mostly about relationships/family/friends. Surprisingly well done and acted. I'm not usually into that stuff, but it got me hooked right away. Timeline gets quite massive towards the end, easy to get lost in it. You can get the ending quickly by just saving all 6, or spend hours tailoring the perfect fate for each character. Not much of this on the market. Highly recommend.

I definitely love this game ♥ I wasnt bored, I played a lot of walking and fmv games, so it was interesting for me to explore and view the scenes. However, what I was missing there was more emotion in the characters' dialogues, in some scenes. The dialogues sounded very monotonous and emotionless. It would also be cool if the apartment would change depending on the event, so that the party would be more intense, for example. And in order to get closer to the main events and the moment of the fire, the apartment would already change its colors for a stronger immersion. But overall, I really like the game and would like to see the second part in the future.

Very, and I mean it, VERY boring game. Annoying characters, slow narration, simple waste of your time.

As part of a futuristic "time repair" squad in the distant apocalyptic future, the player is sent to 21st century England to save six people who died in a house fire and should not have. The game is mostly a walking simulator taking place within the confines of one house, with the player exploring events involving 6 characters over the period of a week. Some of these events feature A/B decisions, which alter the rest of the week, locking out some events from the timeline and replacing them with others. The goal is to find a combination of decisions that results in all six people surviving the fire, and ideally, also resolving their trauma and going on to lead quality lives. The idea is pretty novel and executed well. It is interesting to explore the "butterfly" effect of some minor decisions propagating down the line - the game makes it easy to toggle between the different decisions and visualize their impact on the timeline. The main cast are all down to earth, realistic, relateable and fairly likeable. As a downside, the cast and their events are perhaps...too mundane. They are ordinary people with very ordinary intractions and everyday drama, which feels very weird in the context of the overarching story. There are way too many simple interactions between everyday English blokes for a game with such a ambitious setup, and this makes it difficult to stay engaged and motivated to see it through. All in all, it's an enjoyable experience worth exploring just because of its uncommon concept.
