I don't leave reviews often, but this story hit a real sweet-spot for me for some reason. It's well written, has great characters, and the premise is fairly unique for the genre. If you're wondering why I'm being vague, it's because it's best to go in knowing as little as possible.
Without being too specific:
-You will laugh
-You will cry
-And people WILL die
Pick it up, it's a fantastic beginning to a promising trilogy! Plus it's rekindled my writing bug, so to speak. So hats off to Eric.. I really wanted to like this one. I really did. But this story just isn't at the same level of quality as others that Choice Of Games has released. I understand that this is under the Hosted Games label, but it's not even close. I own almost all of the COG games on steam, and this is the only one that has regularly made my choices feel forced and meaningless. This is also the only story that has regularly failed to provide me with the choice that I thought was the correct decision for the situation.
Things you need to know:
- Part of a planned trilogy. Nowhere on the store page does it say this.
- Incomplete story (Not even the story arc in this chapter is fully resolved and nothing is really wrapped up. It just...)
- Inconsistent quality. (Some spelling and grammar mistakes. Most of the problems are strange writing problems like scenes that are out of order or contradict things stated in previous paragraphs in the same scene.)
- Several choices require knowledge from previous plays to make the "right" choice.
- Many choices have unclear consequences.. While the subject matter is near and dear to my heart, the execution lacks depth and interaction. You have statistics that have apparently zero bearing on the story, your popularity and efforts are tracked, but at no point do you have any control over your habits, your personality, or even your technique. More often than not the game commits the cardinal sin of utterly ignoring your choices, forcing you into one of those you did NOT choose, regardless of which box you tick.
Give this one a pass.. Before I knew what had happened, it was 4am when I finished my first playthrough. Instead of studying for actual finals, I played an interactive novel where my character *ahem* negotiates for a higher grade and bombs another class on moral principles. I couldn't have asked for a better time.
(+) Most importantly, the novel is well-written. As in, amazingly well-written. If this novel was published and in a bookstore, I'd scoop the novel up for $20.
(+) Fun and inventive characters. It was impossible to choose a favorite, but Tress is a L'Or\u00e9al goddess.
(+) Lots of character customization. My costume was a hot mess. Also, I love the inclusiveness with options for "asexual" and "non-binary gender."
(+) Lots of romance options. Hey Mob ;)
(+) Did I mention this game is well-written?
(-) The story isn't complete. You'll have to wait for Part Two, but good things come to those who eat their vegetables.
(EDIT: This doesn't mean that the game isn't "unfinished." This is the start of a trilogy and there's enough material in Part One to whet your appetite until Part Two is released. The ending is doesn't feel rushed or ends abruptly.)
I cannot wait to see what happens in Part Two. There are so many unanswered questions! The spoiler contains a semi-spoilerific open-ended question for the author\/anyone who wants to answer. My character wished he had super strength as a kid, so when I knew about Mob's ability, I knew that was the RO for my character. However, there was one line that intrigued me. This line was around Downfall's final exam. Mob mentioned that he felt unusually stronger around the classmates and faculty, so is it possible that my character develops super strength despite not being a Z-Person? Or is it because of Downfall revealing her abilities? Or something else entirely? Who knows?<\/span><\/span>
10\/10 Would accidentally rename myself as Captain Powerless again. I very much lked "Choice of Robots" and "Tin Star", but did not find "Community College Hero: Trial by Fire" nearly as entertaining. Some of the characters are interesting (the most intriguing aspect of the game is trying to find out each student's secret) and the game definitely has its moments, but writing is a bit ham-handed and there were two major issues that greatly reduced the enjoyability for me:
- The plot is strictly rail-roaded. There are several occasions where you are offered various choices, only to see the game tell you that what you chose was not possible after all and some of the choices you did not pick occurred instead. There are several odd non-choices, where you are just asked to select an opinion that has no effect on anything. And the worst bit: none of the choices you make actually affect the course of the main story;.basically your choices only affect which relationships and skills are advanced, there are no multiple possible storylines. All these shortcomings are in direct contrast to what I'd expect from a quality multiple-choice game.
- This does not feel llike a complete independent game. You start developing a character and following his\/her story, but in the end everything is just left hanging in the air and you get an advertisement for the sequel \u2013 you are told merely the opening chapters here. In my opinion this should definitely be marketed as part 1 of <n>, so that it would be clear that waiting and further purchases are necessary to get the full story.
