Ann

Now... Have you watched Darling in the Franxx? This game feels exactly like that, just a "copy" of Evangelion, which in this case being a copy of ib. Even the game is just called Ann is just ib reference. The problem is that literally everything is taken from ib. Most of the original story telling was insanely stereotyped or useless to the story itself, like the backstory of the protagonist itself, you can just remove them and nothing would change. Only thing I guess was that, Security could be some sort of "Father" for her? but the writing of the game is not even pushing for that. How are those students still alive after all those years? The items you get in the game serve literally no purpose. The protagonist is mute for some reason, and this makes her have literally 0 char development, also conversations especially with security are very annoying and badly written... I think the cutscenes are the best part of the game, including the "mannequin jumpscare", that one was honestly also pretty nice and I liked it. Do I regret playing this game? Yes Would I recommend this to anyone? No Do I want the developer to keep making games? Yes ofc. At the end, the game was made, and even if it's just bootleg ib, it still has a place... for better or for worse, but all of this is personal. Also, this game has a lot of positive reviews but I think it's really cuz it's "free". It definitely doesn't deserve this much praise, it's kinda like that one "ugly" sculpture in a way. If you are reading this and you want to play this, go ahead. Just know it's not going to be good, especially if you already played ib. And lastly, about the horror factor... This game as literally none. It will not make you scream or anything, nor you'll feel terror, I wouldn't even call the game creepy, it's attempt of being creepy or scary is lost after the first minutes when the school transforms, pretty sure they changed the way of doing the game during development, bit sad but whatever eh. and for the love of god, what the ♥♥♥♥ did you think with the charles part? the hide n seek was just terrible and annoying, I hate that.
