I'm glad y'all did a quick look for this and hope folks check it out, especially with it on GamePass.

I've played through chapter 2 and enjoy the setting, acting, and everything about the crafty goblins. However, the pace is too slow, and the choice mechanic is weirdly frustrating given DONTNOD's legacy. It feels like I'm choosing between "right" and "wrong" dialog options instead of ones that are just...different. I made a strong choice early in chapter 1, and my character almost immediately apologized for it - - just odd.

That said, I appreciate their portrayal of a trans character.

If there's one thing this game sold me on, it's that I sort of want a denim jacket now...

@big_denim: Just don't make the mistake of the Canadian Tuxedo. There's an upper limit to how much denim a person should wear at once. : p

I have a sister close in age and Jan is right. Going back to and selling your childhood home is really lonely and depressing indeed. Absolutely no whimsy there.

Yeah, I couldn't really hear the game audio very well. I could hear Abby and Jan talking about twins, which is what I wanted to hear anyways so I'm fine with it.

Tell me why.... Anyone would design jeans with a dangling carabiner right above a back pocket? Can't sit down normally, blocks access, and it's constantly tapping your butt as you walk!

Is it just me or does it feel a little strange to not have Vinny and Alex in a QL of a DONTNOD game.

I literally can't see the title of this game without immediately singing that.

@mooseymcman: Yeah, i gave up on the quicklook cus the game audio is basically not even there. They probably forgot to check audio levels before recording. Then didnt bother looking at the QL before posting it lol.

I think I know the one you mean, and I did the same thing. A little disappointing that the character then undermines the choice you made. I'm not far in the game, and it hasn't really clicked with me yet.

I love Dontnod games, it is great that there is another one for people to enjoy. Even a bad Dontnod games is better than 90% of games put out any given year.

A lot of North American sub cultures take credit for the 'jean tuxedo'....but if you ever lived in a place where plain denim jackets and plain jeans was a thing - I salute you.

I've never completed a Dontnod game, but since I live in Juneau Alaska, I may try to finish this one if just for the novelty of playing a game that set in my hometown. I'm curious if there is any actual landmarks, like the glacier in the game.
