“with just episode one, I've cried about 9-10 times. it's a bittersweet game-- a sweet story in Sean caring for Daniel & trying to help him be a kid again, and a devastating story in losing one's dad to racism. if you're…”

“A slower-paced but impactful story that stays with you after. Well written characters, strong narrative, and choices you make carry weight throughout the journey. It’s not for everyone, but if you like emotional,…”
“I don't even know where to start. This is my all time favorite game! It gets a lot of hate because it is a completely different story and environment and is kind of like a different game entirely but I love every single…”

“IDK what to say. i feel empty after playing such games. i feel depressed playing this one. much more than LiS 1 or BTS. they did improve the world enviroment alot. there's not much of an effect from daniels super power…”

“Compared to LIS1, I preferred this. Daniel and Shaun's relationship is so cool and feels complex, especially with the amount of outcomes and behavioral choices you can make to affect him. The bond is really sweet also.…”
“this is an overwhelmingly incredible game. every episode has such a unique vibe, I connected deeply with the characters, and especially relevant if you live in the US right now. possibly better than LiS 1. I will…”

“A good game, good story. Nothing beats LiS1, and the pacing at times threw me off, but overall I enjoyed the story.”
“I'm struggling to push myself to complete this game. I made it to chapter 4 and I just don't want to continue. Bland writing, bad voice acting, and the only interesting/likable character is Cassidy and I'm pretty sure…”

“Literally one of the best games I've ever played. It's almost been 2 years since I played it and I'm still sad over the ending. I feel this game is now more relevant to current world affairs than it has ever been”
— a player, Steam review · 20 hrs played“All in all, it’s a strong initial start. While a little disorientating and stumbling at points, it’s believable as this player experience mirrors the confusion of Sean and Daniel, trying to find their way. There are lots of decisions to make and the game doesn’t pull punches in…”
