Had a lot of fun playing this game. Its a great 'choose your story' game which I love. No complaints. I can't understand someone not liking this game tbh. It has some fighting in it too but you can choose to skip those parts if you'd like.

It's so good, I'm so in love with the story and the characters (especially Noam)! The story is nice, it doesn't go in circles and I love the premise of the game too. Fighting fascist authoritarians is always a good thing in my books. The cover story is also amazing as to why they're traveling by bus! The character design is also amazing, I simply love the looks they gave everyone, especially Sai and Ophelia!

I'd rather play desert bus... again.

i loved the game personally. the characters were gorgeous and loveable. and as a musician, i enjoyed the rhythm games and the overall musical aspect of the game. the plot is insane and kept me hooked. will play again!

Had this one in my library for some time and decided Pride Month was the perfect time to play. It's...not the greatest game in the world, but it's a solid 6/10 in my opinion. [h2]Characters[/h2] Okay, so the game feels like a kind of "who's who" of representation, which makes it feel less authentic. I'm all for positive representation in games, and it's part of the reason I picked the game up, but it feels a little forced here where they try and cram as much representation in as possible, but only in members of your crew and not in any of the antagonists. I get what they're going for, but I'd prefer things were more authentic. That said, all the characters are well done. Pax starts out as a problematic character but you can see her grow through the game. The rest of the characters are more immediately lovable, which makes it feel a little bad when you have to give them bad answers with Pax, but they absolutely carry the game. [h2]Story / Worldbuilding[/h2] Another mixed-bag. I feel like there was way more of the story that could/should have been told, like all the interesting stuff will have either happened before or after the road trip our characters are on. But the part we do get to experience with them was still interesting and kept me going. Again a large part of it being good was the interactions between the characters which kept me wanting more. I do think the world they set up could have been explored a bit more, and there's a lot of concepts/history that feel quite unexplained. We're expected to just accept the Puritans or Justice are bad guys without us really knowing why or what they've done. I do think the concepts of the powers are interesting, and seeing them ostracised and feared like the X-Men makes sense in-universe. Overall very interesting world and story, but felt quite under utilised and like I really wanted to learn more. [h2]Gameplay / Bugs[/h2] So the game plays like a Quantic Dream or Telltale game where you're mostly just walking around chatting, picking dialogue options, with the occasional QTE. That gameplay style isn't for everyone, but if you enjoy those style of games it's what you expect. There is combat on the game, which is kind of...floaty and not the best, but it can be skipped if you get frustrated with the poor controls, which is nice (I generally enjoy combat in games, but didn't like the feel of the combat here and skipped it). I did come across the same bug a number of times where if you do things too fast, you get stuck and can't move, or even open the menu to quit and have to fully close the game and go back in. It didn't happen often, but it was annoying. [h2]Steam Deck[/h2] Game played perfectly and looked good on the Deck. The only issue was the hanging above, but otherwise it was a nice game to flop down on the sofa and play/read.

Ta hebanova sze_roko grub^a k0rva 0pierd0liła mi czajnik po tym jak sześć razy wodę na herbatę próbowałem ugotować. Poczułem się zraniony zostając zmuszony do gameplayu bez matchy z p13rd0lonymi sp45si0nym1 k0rvami. 10/10 polecamx
