Planetary Quarantine

This story is well written and has a few good ideas in it. However it doesn't amount to much. You'd think that you would meet and talk to a lot of people in game that has lots of people in it. But really you only talk to the same 8 people. The endings are actually rather bland and the story isn't really that long. The stats don't really seem to do much other than decide the ending you get, twice I got what I felt was the "Bad" ending and both were with different choices. You have to do something really specific in order to even get a different ending. Then there's the general feeling of it. I thought the game was going to be about settling on a new world, leading it into its on age and deciding the course of its society. What you actually get is just an investigation that gets thrown at you and its made to look like what you did actually changed how society evolved, even though it was a secret mission and it didn't do anything. All in all a rather disappointing story.

I enjoyed the replayability and the non-linear-ness of it all, but the reactions (story wise) to your choices don't make a whole lot of sense. I've play through several times either dead or forgotten without much reason to it. Honestly, it wasn't worth the $2. Probably only $1 if at all. However, the writing is good and I enjoy the world the author created as well as the characters.

One of my least favorite hosted games, the characters acted in ways that didn't make sense, quite a few of the choices seem to have the opposite effects as to what they suggest and it almost always seems as though you were being set up to fail. During most of my playthroughs it seems that if I try to succeed, then i fail and vice versa. There are also no explanations given to some of the events that take place in some playthroughs, I wouldn't recommend buying this unless you really enjoy the whole idea of not understanding what just happened. In fact, in the epilogue there is little to no closure given whatsoever, no information on the character "Mackenzie" or the whole conspiracy that the game is based around. However, it seems to me that on my latest playthrough there seems to be only one actually "good" ending, but even then not everything is explained and you find that only one of your choices across the entire game has affected anything... where to shoot.
