I just played Act I and I really like this. So far it's more an "interactive work of art" than a "game", which suits me fine in this case as the art is good.

A lot of reviews I read said it's fine that it's not complete yet, many people said it's actually better to not play the whole thing at once but to play one act at a time and wait a few months between. So that's the plan.

What the hell is up with this game? Just played through ACT I, and I must say, I have no idea what to think. I guess it was quite a ride and a great set up, since I got goosebumps more than couple of times. Still, for some reason, I'm afraid its going to turn shit sooner or later. Gonna play through the remaining Acts tomorrow.

How did ya guys like it?

Just started to play it myself. Got it from the latest Humble bundle. Anyway, it is atmospheric, and narrative mechanic is kinda cool. It does feel a bit hipsterish though, much randomness but I guess it will all come together at the end- or at least I hope. I'm at act III.

During act II in the forest you come across this song:



:love:

Well, while act I left a big impression on myself, I still havent started act II. I guess I'm waiting the right kind of mood.

Another really cool moment was...

...when you get to choose the lyrics for that love song in the bar. Kinda hit close to home.

Still no idea what to make of the game after finishing chapter III.

Final act is coming out on 28.01. Console ports, too.



And also the last interlude (i.e. epilogue), The Death of the Salesman Hired Man.

TDOTS was a major visual source of inspiration for the devs (not necessary this particular staging, they're all pretty surreal):

Also The Death of the Hired man is a long poem by Robert Frost and you all got 3 weeks to find the hints for the ending!
