Perseverance: Part 2

yes

Bardzo dobra, kolejna odsłona, a właściwie to równoległa historia do tej z pierwszej części. Bardzo dobrze się w to grało.

всё конечно классно но не хватает русского языка

Massive letdown compared to the first part. The visuals and mechanics were always subpar, but at least story was somewhat intriguing before - now that the story pivoted to the POV of an 'assassin' from the previous deadbeat dad you can tell the writer(s?) are incapable of writing a convincing character at all. Not sure I have it in me to even finish this, and try the third part. Only saving grace is i got both for like 1 eu.

[b]Overall: [/b] 7/10 In contrast with part 1, here you take the role of an assassin who delves deeper into the secrets going on around the town of Grey Ville. Recommend buying it only at a discount. [b]Music: [/b] 6/10 Decent enough [b]Visuals: [/b] 7.5/10 They looked really solid overall, better than expected. Karen’s “angry” face looks really out of place. [b]Gameplay: [/b] 7.5/10 Really simple. Basically a VN with options; I do give it points for having an easy way to scroll back and pick another option if you want. [b]Story: [/b] 6/10 Dialogue needs to be improved and the protagonist of this part seems all over the place. I would have liked something to differentiate it from other zombie stories now that we are delving deeper into what is happening.

The story is good, even though the protagonist is named Karen and not overly likable. The game gives you lots to explore and secrets to discover, with previous choices influencing the choices that will be available in future scenes. The art and atmosphere are also well done and very fitting. You could easily play it without having played Part 1, but playing Part 1 gives you more insight into certain events/characters. The ending is awful. In terms of the story events, it's fine, but the game just ends very abruptly and anti-climatically, to the extent that on my first playthrough, I thought I just got an incomplete ending because I didn't discover enough secrets or something. Nope, that's the only ending. Maybe it could've worked if it didn't look like something the devs slapped together in two minutes. Yes, I know there's a Part 3. The problem isn't that it's a cliffhanger but that it's terribly delivered. Anyway, as a story, it's good. As a game... there are a lot of problems. First of all, the save feature is somewhat broken. It properly saved all my saves, but if you have a lot of them, it gets weird and buggy. Whatever, that's annoying but manageable. But what's a massive headache is the broken skip feature, which is an EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FEATURE for visual novels. It skips certain CHOICES, specifically only those that can lead to the protagonist's death. In at least three cases, it also "skips" the death screen, putting you in an endless loop that you might only be able to get out of by hitting escape and then choosing "return" in the menu that appears, which seems to turn the skip button off. For me, the first scene this happened with didn't skip the final choice before death (where both options lead to death) or the death scene, so I didn't realize there was a bug here and was going insane trying all these combinations of choices earlier in the story in an attempt to survive, wondering how the hell I ever survived in my first playthrough. How has such a massive bug survived this long in the game...? Devs, it's a visual novel, LITERALLY JUST USE REN'PY.
