Description:
After a tough breakup, you are on a quest to find love again. But, is being in
the spotlight a real way to find love?
O. My. Goodness. Maybe it’s because
I’m a bit of a control freak, maybe it’s because I’m actually a nursing student
and totally get what the main character is talking about, but I am loving this
story! It must’ve taken a tremendous effort to make, so I first applaud my
hands off for Katie and Maddie who are doing this project together!
Ok, sorry about that. Let’s get talking about the story content. So you
are playing as you (yes you get to customize your character and pick a name for
it) and your friend dares you to enter a dating show called Love Quest, since
you haven’t really been out there ever since your breakup. Though you didn’t
plan on actually entering, she convinces you to go anyway. You meet twelve
contestants (both male and female) and start getting challenges. Every round
someone gets eliminated by the viewers. Meanwhile two groups of girls team up
and start plotting against each other and the guy with the superficial cocky
attitude may actually have a deeper layer…
As said at the beginning of this
review, you guys really impressed me. Not even can one design what the main
character looks like and give her a name, one also has a say in what her
personality will be like! The amount of coding it must take to make something
like this…it dazzles me when I try to even just imagine it! Really, I believe
this earns you guys a lot of respect already. And then there is the storyline
which also looks like it’s carefully constructed (well for my sassy, crybaby
route anyways). Also, I’m loving the friend and parents side characters as
well. Their personalities are presented really well in a natural way.
Though, like with every story, even
this one has some parts that could be improved for the better. Some transitions
aren’t very smooth yet. For example the part where the scene changes from the
main character sitting on board of the plane to the scene in which she is viewing
the mansion she will be spending her time during the shooting. In that second
scene she is still in a sitting position, which I don’t think was the author
duo’s intend. What wasn’t really a directing error, but more something that
feels unnecessary to me is the specifically ending days with the main character
going to sleep. Unlike when she’s actually going to experience something during
the night, it’s not really interesting to go through the scenes of the main
character changing into her PJ’s and going to bed after every single day that
takes place in the story. I’d say: just skip it.
Then there also is a bit of a down
to having a lot of freedom of making choices and candidates to choose from:
which are unexpected choices and the forgetting of names. When I first saw the
candidates coming by, I did not expect having to choose someone I had my eye on
already, so I forgot their names. So when I had to choose my favorite candidate
so early on in the story, I really had no clue if I chose the right person when
I saw that intimidating long list of names (by some coincidence I did, I realized
when I continued reading).
So, I hope this review was helpful
