We Are Chicago

This game is dragged out and stupid. You cant even make bad decisions. an hour and a half felt like three...

It is pains me to say this but this is not a good game. I love dialogue driven games like Life is Strange and the Taltale Walking Dead (which it looks like it is taking inspiration), but I got really boared with these characters and I just cannot seem to care about the situation that it is taking place because how slow everyhing is. It is a big shame because when I first heard of this game on the Co Optional Podcast I was really excited on the subject matter (I grew up outside of Chicago where my town had gang problems), but it was executed so poorly. One other thing that I like to bring up is the music. MY GOD THE MUSIC! Why pick the MOST annoying generic string music! It got so annoyed that when the song was ending I was so relieved to hear silence until that song loop again. >_< In my opinion, it was a miss opportunity not adding like "chill instrumental hiphop & jazzHop." You guys heart where in the right place and we need more devs doing this sort of games. Next time, give more time to polish. Hope to see more game from you!

Not what it seems, small ♥♥♥♥ story line, same route no matter what, same things happen. This game should bey around $1-1.99

Interesting game and concept. Relatively short, but enjoyed the narrative-driven aspect of the game -- you are able to choose how you will respond to certain reponses. Its not entirely clear how the decisions affect the game as a whole, but I wouldn't be able to tell the difference either way. I think this is an interesting way of bringing issues to light -- the time spent with the characters builds empathy with the player. Overall, the game seems honest in its intentions and is supported by a well intended group of people. Hope to see more games like this, across a range of topics!

Do not buy this game. it does not warrant the price tag that goes with it.

i dislike the game because it's been freezes since i got it and i can't reach anyone. i want a refund!!! I'm a very disappointed customer.

piece of ♥♥♥♥ game

This was an emotionally jarring story that had me captivated from start to finish. If you're one of these people ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about graphics or fps, please go play call of duty and leave intelligent independent games alone. Ok, so in the first-person camera you turn a little slowly? While the graphics might not be top-notch technology, the voice acting is stellar, the story is compelling. I fell in love with the characters and felt invested in the narrative to the point where I didn't want to put it down until the end. By the way, anyone who is white and is complaining about how the characters "sound white" you might need to re-examine your own racist predispositions. I am fully disgusted by the tone of the negative reviews left here, and they say more about the gaming community than about the quality of this game. I was completely engrossed for hours. Would recommend this game and will probably play again.

Game crashed my Steam and is racist as ♥♥♥♥. Why is the school all black and why does everyone and their Aunt Jemima have a picture of Barack Obama, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr. etc.

This is a tricky one as this was going to be my very first negative reviews for a game. I'm one of those people who will either leave a good review or i just wont leave any but man this one was tough. I'm giving it a positive because underneath all the flaws this game has a heart, you can tell that the devs were trying to convey a good story but unfortunately i think it was let down by poor gameplay mechanics, textures and models ect. The voice acting was interesting as it wasn't bad really, but it didn't fit the type of environment they created. I think someone said it best in the forums where it felt like the dialogue was written by white people. There was too much emphasis on "black lives matter" that i felt i was being hit over the head with it. My positive review is mainly down to effort. I hope this game improves over time with future updates.
