I ran into a game-stopping bug where the notebook is supposed to update when you talk to a certain person, and it doesn’t. I checked a walkthrough because I was totally stuck, and I had already done what the walkthrough suggested. Tested it again, and even though I, the player, know the information, the notebook doesn’t so I can’t progress.
There was another earlier bug with the phone in Kelly’s room that had me stumped but not permanently stuck. Less of a “bug” and more a game design thing if you do things in a different order.
Overall, as a fan of adventure games, this fell short. On pacing, I usually expect to be stuck for a bit, then have a big breakthrough where the game moves quickly again for a bit, then get stuck again, repeat. In this one I feel I’ve had to squeeze every clue out like juicing a potato with my bare hands without much reward for my work. And mostly brute forcing.
Also I don’t like the characters very much, which is important in a story-driven game. I DO like the premise though! I just don’t feel it delivered on my hopes.
