Alright, jeeze, been waiting on this a while. Technically got the game for free, but I gifted that copy and got the soundtrack edition because #bettervalue.
Anyway, ok where to start? I'm not much of an adventure game kinda guy, so I don't know how this stacks up against the rest of the genre, but as a fan of Homestuck I'm glad to see some expansion on less clear aspects of that universe. There were a couple implications which I believe were new, but i never looked close enough at the source material to tell.
The game itself is enjoyable. I found myself getting bored of clicking on literally everything, but I imagine that's just my impatience with the format.
There were a few typos that seemed to have made it into the final dialogue, only one managed to confuse me a little bit because I guess an entire word got cut and it was kind of key in that context. Otherwise just a couple letters off, but I got the point.
I only got stuck at one point, and that's probably just because I assumed a couple objects were connected but they had different dialogues associated with them. From my perspective, it was overall an enjoyable experience. It does look like this is going to be episodic, like a Telltale game. I finished Act 1 and I assume I have to wait for Act 2 to come out.
Followed homestuck for its last few years, so that's nothing new.
I can't say for sure how this would appeal to newcomers who never checked out any MSPA comics. Hard to know, but I think it would hold up for the uninitiated.
So, yeah, Fun game so far. Pretty basic stuff, and a good preview for what's to come. Also showcases that classic Homestuck humor very well, with a few good references aside from the obvious.
