What are your thoughts on Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk? I absolutely loved the beginning, but as the story continued I started liking it less and less. I was not a fan of the shift from warring factions in a mysterious town to uh oh we're all dead in purgatory, what now. I actually thought from the onset it was some sort of purgatory thing, but immediately wrote it off because I thought there were too many people present for that. Also I never played Black Butterfly so I didn't have that as a reference. I've only gotten one proper character end (Lavan's) along with a few bad ends and it was really weird.
>Jed's a witch!
>No, she's my wife.
>Oh, okay. I guess she's not a witch then.
>Good talk. Now I'm going to go brood over my daddy issues.
Everything before the masquerade I'd give a 4/5. Great slice of life, loved the music and the characters except Lugus, who seemed to fall for Jed way too fast and they tried too hard to endear him to the player, especially Tee, Levi, and Jed. At first it felt overwhelming seeing how many short stories and interviews popped up on the maps in the early chapters, but as I got into the swing of things I couldn't wait to read them all. The art is great despite the weird diamond hair highlights. The amount and variety of the character portraits was a real pleasant surprise.
Everything after is mostly 2/5. Except for the game giving you the option to kill Olgar which I picked with no hesitation even if it was clearly wrong out of pure delight that they even let me.
