I guess this is not for me., March 12, 2016

First question: (Spoiler - click to show)What is your favorite genre? Rock, Pop, Hip-Hop, Classical, Alternative, or Other? Where's country? I don't like country, but it's a pretty egregious choice to lump it in "other".

Third question: (Spoiler - click to show)What kind of headphones do you use to listen to music? Brain Candy, Skull Candy, Eye Candy, Beats, Bose, Ear Buds, Buds, Other Buds. I use Logitech Headphones, and some of us over the age of twenty like to listen to music in the open air from speakers. Beats and Bose might be headphones, but they are high end and out of most people's price range. "Ear Buds, Buds, and Other Buds" are the same thing, unless there's some weirdness with ear buds I've not learned. I do use ear-buds, but it's either the apple buds that came with my phone, or any random $12 ones that haven't broken yet.

Very nice presentation though.

Okay another shot. Perhaps the initial alienation I experienced was intentional. This is a weird experience and not what I was thinking. It's two strange dialogues with some media. I'm not quire sure it did much other than character study. Lots of fake choices make the experience a bit tone deaf. As an experiment in a new system (caniuseitcaniuseitpleaseisitavailable?) it's a successful prototype in that the text has timings. I'd love to experiment with it.

I'd suggest, if you're up for it, playing through to an ending. The game at the end is very different from the game at the start, and doesn't take terribly long.

I may have been a little hasty with my impressions, but it alienated me right off in the same way as surveys that go:
How old are you?
13-17
18-23
23-25
25-27
27+
(Yeah, because the demographic is so varied until you hit 30!)
I don't remember if I bailed early on this, though, because usually, I mention that. I guess since I thought it was just character study and perhaps I missed the car chase/explosions at the end? :)

Well, not a car chase and explosions (that I know of), but yes. It's more than a character study.
