# Review

The lives of two families over decades are entangled in this crime drama. The core gameplay involves making different decisions and exploring the various story branches.

Making a decision

The story is dramatic and has emotional weight. The characters and their backstories are interesting and some characters, such as the nature-loving Jay (Sasha Kane), really stood out. The pacing is on the slower end with a ton of dialogue and moments of action. The artstyle is comic-like and the game feels like playing through a voiced comic book. The game also relies heavily on QTEs to drive the action.

QTE

The game wants the player to explore different branches of the story but unfortunately it's just too repetitive to do so and the game doesn't have a mechanism to skip scenes that the player has already seen. Furthermore, the slow pacing makes the repetition even worse.

# Conclusion

A narrative-driven game with slow pacing.

# Overall rating: 7.2
