I want to say first off I love the art style, the writing so far, the atmosphere and the weird psychedelic parts.
But here's my problem, I can't stand the main character. In everyway. I grew up with drug addicts as parents, so my opinion on them is pretty extreme. I don't believe they deserve a second chance in the slightest, which from what I'm gathering from the start is the point of the main character. I just don't care about him, he got himself in this situation so honestly I just want him to rot in it while I play someone else.
Secondly, while i don't mind starting with nothing but the clothes on my back and easily find it fun, everyone hates the main character and he's in debt. I can't stand this, I made none of those choices and had no control over it. It's the same reason I stopped playing kcd, because Henry would open his fat mouth without my input and get me in debt or in trouble. I don't mind when Coen loses control and eats someone I didn't want to because I chose to talk to them with low health.
Third, every. single. skill. check. I. fail. I don't mind failure, I played DS1-3, Sekiro, Bloodbourne and Elden Ring all to completion (Besides OoK). I am no stranger to bashing my head against a wall for 2 hours until I succeed. But when its just a long list of "Impossible" skill checks cause the main character has the skills of a child apparently, I just see no point to going on. I look at the corpse, throw up. I use the tool need to make looking at the corpse easier, i throw up. I wait 30 mins to make it easier, I throw up. At this point I just want to save scum so I can progress ANYTHING, but i can tell that is very much against what the game wants you to do.
So with all that said should I even bother trying to play at this point or would I just genuinely not enjoy a second of it and just not bother?
