A Wise Use of Time

Didn't like this one. The choice and story go no where. The choice are lock in one choice path.

Loop

I wanted to like this game, I really did and it was starting off relatively strongly. It was going well, nothing amazing but interesting enough that I was excited to play it. That is until the second or third chapter, can't remember, where the agency for my character and previous choices were taken from me. No spoilers but I played my character trying to hide his power. I was given a choice to not admit to my power. Then on the literal next page, my character was not found out, was not proven to be lying or hiding something, but just blurts out the very thing I just chose not to reveal. It was very jarring and took me completely out of the story. What is the point of having the option only for my character to do the exact opposite? If he had been found out, if the plot had revealed him, I could do deal with that, but that's not what happened.

Интересная игра, но есть пара раздражающих вещей. Например, ложная возможность выбора в некоторых местах. А ещё тупость ГГ. [spoiler]Убить мимокрокодила и достать ствол для обороны от бомжей? Запросто. Но пырнуть ножом реально опасного врага он не догадается, хотя этот мазохист трижды позволил набить себе морду. Злодей вообще получился карикатурно тупым и высокомерным.[/spoiler]

A friend recommended this game to me. Definitely not what I'm used to or what I was expecting. It's a choose your own adventure text game. I'd played a few of them on web sites, but nothing this elaborate. The writing is very solid and there are tons of choices. You really feel like you're in control of the story. And judging by how I finished the game and only got 23% of the achievements, it seems like your choices really do matter. The plot is that you're living an ordinary life when suddenly you realize you have the ability to manipulate time. From there you can pretty much choose to use your ability however you want. You are also in control of your relationship with the other characters you meet in the story. Ignore them, befriend them, get romantically involved with them, whatever you want. That's where the main enjoyment of the game comes from. Feeling like you're building your own story with your actions instead of just being along for the ride. This was a new experience for me, but I'll be checking out more of these types of games. Highly recommended.

Ignore the time, it is not accurate. (left on) However, i own all the choice of games, and this is one of my favorites. I had a great time playing it once and i cant wait to play again. There was only one other game i played that made me want to rush back to it. Well written, good characters and a fun story!
