So I liked Shale Hill. I did. This is basically the same game with a new setting.
The writing is still a bit too pretentious and there's too... much of it for the story progression. The mystery/intrigue build up is set up similarly.
It's all very samey. I am weirdly ok with it, but it also rubs me the wrong way that there's basically no innovation whatsoever.
Either way, if you liked Shale Hill, you'll like it. Don't expect anything different beyond the setting. This game has the same trajectory.
