So far the best thing about the game is the music, great old school SNES style tunes. The gameplay so far seems like it might be promising - a role playing game that appears to be all about how different choices can affect your life. So far the concept is interesting, but held back a bit by the writing, which seems to fall a bit on the genric side of stereotypical. We'll see.
