Feels like studying. Like hopping around Wikipedia, but none of the "articles" (reports, interviews etc) are of interest. Characters don't come to life ... No sense of progress, just going in circles - that's the big flaw, I think: no story arc. No stats to improve, no feeling of getting closer to a solution. Like research for an assignment, but to feel like spending time on that kind of work I need to be motivated, and I'm not. Learn to engage your reader, in other words please learn to write.

I don't know why people would hate this; probably because it is something foreign to the usual CYOA format, the bad writing, or maybe I'm just this illiterate,I just want to say, give this a chance. I actually spent time to immerse myself in the game's rich narrative-It's enigmatic, thrilling, and gives you a glimpse of lovecraftian horror. The game is an interesting experiment that deviates from the usual content we get from hosted games which makes it even more special. All in all a good read.

Very dry writing. Honestly I couldn't even get through the research portion in the first chapter. Just pages of uneventful droning and uninteresting information about the "mission". Having it presented like a shot receiving an assignment might be a good idea but the execution was lacking. Hard pass on this title for me
