Until Then

It's time for drunk reviews. Until Then is a good game. It's enjoyable, funny, and the characters aren't annoying. However, it has a significant flaw. This is the true ending, or rather, its linearity. If the game gave the player enough autonomy to choose their route, there would be no problems. But it doesn't. The game doesn't allow the player to make any important choices. Instead, the player is treated to a linear story with an extremely disappointing ending. So my advice: stick with the first ending. At least for a while. It's the highest point in the game. Spoilers follow. [spoiler] The problem with the game is that it doesn't give you any choices. Like, after the first ending, I thought I'd have the opportunity to make different choices and change the story, but that's not the case. Instead, the game drags you through time loops we can't influence. And the question arises: why are these time loops even necessary? [/spoiler] [spoiler] I didn't like Nicole right away (after all, Cathy is the best girl), and the fact that half the plot revolves around her greatly affected my perception. She's not that interesting, especially considering the game has plenty of other interesting characters to explore. I would have really liked to see Louise, Sophia, or Ridel's routes. I thought the game would give you a chance to explore other characters' routes. But alas, the plot drags Nicole along like dead weight. And then comes the true ending. It's just stupid. Like, two ghosts caused all these time anomalies. Cool, all the theories the player could have come up with just fly out the window. [/spoiler] [spoiler] And it's a shame. The first ending was a real punch in the gut. It hurt me, in a good way. And that racing game at the end always gives me goosebumps when I think about it. It's the perfect bittersweet ending. It teaches us that we should be more attentive to our loved ones. I think this is the high point of the entire game. [/spoiler] I really hope the developers address all these issues in their new game. Because despite the extremely disappointing true ending, this game made me feel something, and that's a win in my book.

Mi parte preferida fue cuando se me bugueó en el último capítulo y tuve que ver los finales por un video de youtube. Fuera de eso, juegazo, lloré a lo loco. PD: Mark y Nicole me hicieron volver a creer en el amor heterosexual. Aún después del final verdadero, yo la esperanza no la pierdo.

Неогранённый инди-алмаз филиппинского происхождения. НО с большими минусами. Такая игра должна быть переработана на новый движок или жанр, чтобы вместе с озвучкой можно было провести в ней в 25+ часов, но в виде текста это местами очень душно настолько, что пропустить диалог не грех -- будь игра 12-15 часов, к ней не было бы вопросов. Игра иногда просто работала некорректно или вылетала, а для решения проблемы нужно выбрать другой ответ в диалоге или сменить язык игры. Но в общем и целом это захватывающий проект.

One of the only games that made me wanna finish it in one sitting because of how much I was curious about whats gonna happen next. And also made me cry like a baby. The only thing I wanna say is I didnt know there was a true ending. (i only watched it of yt, but i wanna experience it so maybe i will pick off of were i left) And no spoilers but after looking up the true ending, I think it is crucial to play another 10 hours, which brings me to my conclusion, yes it is very slow paced. I loved that the game went into a different direction because it genuinely adds so much creativity, but also the whole story could be told way faster. So other than the slow pacing and the maybe some more gameplay this game is a masterpiece.

This game was one of the best games I've ever played the characters, music, story and gameplay was amazing. I truly recommend everyone to play it. It was so much fun playing this game and learning about the characters and their story I wish I can earse this from my memory and play it again. Best 19,59€ I ever spent. I loved this game.

Absurdo!! um jogo magnifico, uma historia cativante do inicio ao fim, cheio de surpresas, personagens muito bem desenvolvidos e que se tornam amigos ao decorrer do jogo, dlc simplismente incrivei e maravilhosa, só reforçando mais o jogo base que ja é uma obra de arte, simplismente UNTIL THEN.
