Twins ability to recall memories visually when together was done well, filling in backstory and highlighting the "memory can be unreliable" theme.ĭecent twist that it was Alyson that did the stabbing, although it seemed obvious once the memory played out and Tyler was at the end of the dock. Still not sure why Alyson threw away Tyler's bear at the beginning? He was excited when he thought he found it. Twins supernatural ability with their "voice" was good, but could have been better utilized in gameplay vs just discussing what to do/say next to someone and warning Tyler about Eddy while in the Archives. Even Lorelai accepted help from her parents when it came to her kid and Lorelai's dad basically told her "u don't know shit about these Ivy League schools" and called her out, while it seems like Mary-Ann was unwilling to even communicate. Did something about being at the wooden house cause the death of Leo, perhaps staying in Juneau with a better job could have prevented this? Reminded me of Lorelai in Gilmore Girls, but a tragic version. However she was making decent coin in Juneau, perhaps staying there would have been better? She seemed to make a lot of stupid decisions after that it seems. Mary-Ann's story was sad, oppressive and overbearing parents, forcing her to do things she didn't, then having to run away. The game had a decent number of locations as well, when compared to True Colors, although Haven Springs seems like a cooler town. It also seemed a bit strange on Michael's part to pursue Tyler while everything was going down. Although in True Colors, you could choose between two different romantic angles, here you were just kind of limited to Michael. Michael was a supportive friend, and didn't freak out if u didn't choose the romantic angle with him, the ice fishing bit was good, and it wasnt super convoluted to catch the fish. Eddy also didn't reprimand them too much after he catches them in the Archives.Īll of the cops were good in general, although I don't know what u gained by checking Denise's locker and her computer? And there was a glimpse of the Mad Hatter if I'm not mistaken at the station the first time you leave, not sure what that was for? So is Tom the Mad Hatter? I thought that maybe The Mad Hatter was going to be responsible for their supernatural abilities or something. Mary-Ann shoulda blew his ass away right there, seems like its easy to dispose of a body in Alaska?Įddy was good, was scared that he would turn out to be bad, thankfully, even after Alyson admits she is the one that did it, he was still supportive and didn't like rat her out, although I figured if u chose this route Alyson would be less hesitant to go public with the Tom revelation. Tessa and Tom were insufferable, first time they were on screen I wanted to barf, well done in portraying them, further evidenced by Tessa's bigotry at the cemetery and Tom's douchebag-ness at the end, really was hoping for Tyler to punch him in the face vs just the shove. ![]() Just finished, overall a good game, spoilers follow While I sympathize with Mary-Ann's mental health problems, she was a force of destruction and selfishness that the children - good people in my playthrough - finally escaped. While Tessa reported Mary-Ann out of a place of vindictiveness, Tessa also wasn't wrong: Mary-Ann posed a danger to her children.Įven if Mary-Ann didn't intend to kill Tyler, she was pointing the rifle at him. Mary-Ann lived in a fantasy world where her needs and her status - represented by the tiara, perhaps - were of primary importance over the needs of her children. Mary-Ann wasn't equipped to raise two children on her own, pushed Sam away even though he could have helped even more, and refused to reconcile with her father who could have helped provide support if Mary-Ann would have offered an olive branch. The children are her goblins, but Mary-Ann choosing to keep them (rather than having an abortion) comes from a place of welcoming disaster. Piece by piece, Mary-Ann dismantled her support system much as it sounds like she did with cutting the cord with her parents (though that situation sounded complicated). So Mary-Ann choosing to be with Tom wasn't just about feeling crappy, but also potentially destroying her relationship with Tessa. Sam loved Mary-Ann, but a person in a depression spiral doesn't want love but rather to feel terrible about themselves. At one point, the children speculate that Tom was a sign of how desperate Mary-Ann was for a connection - but that doesn't track with the facts. ![]() Mary-Ann was spiraling when she chose to have an affair with Tom.
