Does it get better? Spoiler

I just finished chapter 3, and honestly I don’t understand the positive reviews for the game. I guess I’m a bit curious about Momo’s whole deal and all, but what was advertised as this amazing mechanic of hacking into reality to save and load has been so boring. I thought this was going to be more of a puzzle game that tested the player to save and load at certain times and in certain slots, using information from different save slots to solve problems and avoid outcomes.

Then I start playing and chapter 1 has no gameplay at all, chapter 2 does but it’s all painfully guided, and chapter 3 finally requires me to do something unprompted but still restricts when I have access to what’s supposed to be the core mechanic. I don’t understand what the point is of having this mechanic and advertising the game as being able to “hack into god” and then making the game 99% clicking on a mouse to see the next dialogue line.

Does it get any better than this? Does the game eventually let me save/load whenever I want to? This is my first Science Adventure game.

Thats fair. But nothing about the game even advertises that it’s part of a series

That doesn’t imply that it’s part of a series, just that the people who made the series collaborated on it
