Chainsaw

Chainsaw’s first episode, Dream Logistics, lays a solid foundation for its surreal, angst-fueled narrative to build on in future installments. As is, the atmosphere and worldbuilding are the highlights, while the characters and combat system need further development and fine-tuning. Those looking for unrestrained creativity and some rough edges in their games should feel right at home in ikiru997’s unique world.

The game's finally here, and frankly, I did not expect it to be episodic. As such, I will be updating this review as the episodes come out. [h3]EP 01: DREAM LOGISTICS[/h3] Okayyyy! So, first things first, I really liked it! I can't say it's a writing masterpiece, nor is it a particularly polished game, but the atmosphere, art and music make up for it. It truly feels like playing with your OCs in the best way possible. The combat's a bit easy, and there are a lot of basic enemies to just grind through, but the real-time response structure of the fights makes it engaging. The skills are also pretty neat. I've played through all (?) three routes to have the complete experience, and man, the good ending is kinda boring compared to the other two loll, there's not even a boss. Although I'm glad that I was nice in my first run, cause [spoiler]when I saw Mark insulting Isaac in the murder route after, the drama just became juicier by contrast. And the Alter Isaac route was so unexpected, I was like awww they're hugging BOOM you have an evil doppelganger actually.[/spoiler] I REALLY hope the routes will impact the other episodes, and I'd love to have some more pivotal choices in the futur…

this game is clearly unfinished and a tad unpolished, however this is easily one of my favorite games of all time. chapter 1 is the only chapter currently but i see amazing potential..

Could definitely do with a significant amount of polishing. It wears inspiration on it's sleeve to an annoying degree, and some things and characters just kinda happen. Overall, it felt like the game was written by an edgy middle schooler (especially when it comes to the character's language). Even so, I'm excited to see where things go.

Really excited for more
