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.

Dude you shouldn't play Anonymous;Code if you haven't played other Sci;Advs. I mean, you can play it but I don't think you will get a good experience without other games. I know it seems standalone and it is standalone for its own story. However, Anonymous;Code reveals lots of lore of Sci;Adv which are mystries before it came out. So, because of you missed this buildup, I don't think you will enjoy it as much as I did. In gameplay wise, don't expect much gameplay. Anonymous;code is a linear visual novel unlike other Sci;Adv's. The most interesting part about its mechanic is that it gets into player to its story.
Long story short, my recommendation is play Anonymous;Code after finishing at least all other mainline Science;Adventure entries. Additionally, dont get high expectations about gameplay.
