Walkerman Act 2: Herdchaser-girl DLC

Now I will admit to having been very critical of the first act and how insufferable the main character is in it, but I did say I would give chapter 2 another shot if he developed somewhat. I am extremely pleased to say that he has, and more importantly the internal monologues have taken a back seat and interactions have a much more conversational feel. This chapter blows the first one out of the water, now that all the heavy handed political diatribes are out of the way it feels like the story gets a real chance to breathe and not a minute is wasted. This chapter IMO makes the first one worth slogging through. Siedh is bae. Also this guy is gonna be completely fucked up by the last chapter.

In the second act, the story gains momentum as Jorgen finds it even harder to make ends meet. In the down-and-out world of the City-State, every twist and turn is unexpected. Between budding romance and The Weird, it's hard for me to tell if the few decisions I can do for him can spare Jorgen from being the "product of his environment" and inevitably turning into a so-called degenerate - or whatever terrifying fate might befall him.

A worthy successor to the first episode for the most part. The main complain I would have with it in comparison to act 1 is that the confrontation feels considerably weaker than the first ones did but in exchange the story itself felt much better. Jorg continues to be a compelling, if often frustrating, protagonist and the supporting cast continues to be just as interesting, even if their involvement is mostly limited in this entry in favor of focusing on a smaller subset of them. Besides the main complaint of the encounter section feeling somewhat lackluster the only other complaint I can think of is that there are at least a few major moments in the story where I felt like I should have been allowed to make a choice for the main character but was not allowed to, with one major point at the end being a fairly major one. I can respect that maybe the writer had a reason not to allow that choice but it certainly feels like it should have been included. I won't mention anymore on that in fear of spoilers. Overall I can highly recommend this entry, the tone is darker, the characters more interesting and the story continues to interest me to the point that I will await the next entry eagerly. Even if it takes forever to come out like this one did.

The devs really did some good work with this chapter. The characters are compelling, and the story is getting better and better. Definitely approve.

Originally bought this game thinking it's a story based porn game using Ren'Py, similar to other porn games found on F.A.P Nation. Turns out it's not and the first Act actually has no lewd scenes with a pretty solid story. Act 2 however, is a bit of a mixed bag to me. Whatever decision made in Act 1 (which isn't that many or important to begin with) barely effected this Act. Investigating the Weird sounds like a great idea but ultimately rendered useless once the mystery was unraveled, making replays practically unnecessary. Worst still are the solution to the puzzle. Again, there's really no reason to replay them using different paths because regardless of the "solution" used, the Act still ends the same way. My main complaint however, is the story. Long story short, I like the general idea but I think I would prefer reading it as a book rather than playing it as a visual novel game. Devs, I'm not joking. If you ever decided to release your story in book form, I would buy them to support you because I think it has far better potential as a book than a visual novel game.
