![]() The music had a lot of variation and always matched the mood of the writing. The music and art were both very well done. It wasn’t sad happy shocking or anything really it was just there. ![]() I was hoping that the Sam was lying and it was just setting up something else but it never happened. I almost don’t believe that is the ending because it makes so little sense and ends so abruptly. The past sections were really well done in that they did a good job explaining how Sam got how he was and it was very relatable. So really all you get to pick is what order you see the story in. I picked present for all of those choices and after that was done it ran through all of the past story anyway. You get to choose at different points to see the past or present for Sam but it doesn’t really matter. You have zero dialogue choices in the game to make. I had said that the developers had failed to make an interactive story and I will explain that. The descriptions of places as well as the conversations had a great flow to them though. It was incredibly well written, just the facts and events the dialogue person had to work with seem forced. The real shame was the dialogue was a strong point of the game. If I give someone a physics textbook and get them to read it for a few hours I’m sure that they can regurgitate some info back to me but I doubt they really understand much of it. It’s almost as if the developers researched incel culture and had a checklist of tropes that these characters would have but without the understanding of what they had researched to make these characters seem genuine. The characters were my biggest issue in that they seem like cardboard cutouts. They just fell short and certainly didn’t provide the “interactive story” they promise on the store page. I was expecting it to be some hit job on incel culture but surprisingly the developers actually tried and put in an effort to make an interesting story. That being said it could only be elevated to mediocre but that’s a far cry from awful. They just fell short and certainly Incel Syndrome could have been an awful game but in many ways was saved and elevated by the things it did right.
