"Dissent" isn't a game, it's a cringey non-game high school anime club dropout fan-fiction that's been dumped on Steam into the games section. As a visual novel, it doesn't have any gameplay. It's just a lot of clicking through bad, cringe dialogue that no real publisher would ever accept. When people can't get their work published in print, they pay the $100 fee to dump their fan-fiction here instead, where we have to put up with it when looking for things that are actual PC games. While this garbage e-book features all the same high school anime club dropout fan-fiction writing, it's not really a full book, intended to be an advertisement/prologue/demo for some other garbage e-book also unwanted by gamers. The plot, refreshingly, is not apparently all about the author and his imaginary girlfriend, as are most Steam Direct non-game e-book fan-fictions, instead, this follows a college student investigating a mysterious research labratory, only with bad writing. This is a Choose Your Own Adventure format, but that doesn't make it a game. It's still just a book. Nobody finishes the pain of reading a cringey CYOA fan-fiction and thinks it was a video game. This was slapped togethe…

It's a very VERY short game and not fun at all...I want my 29 minutes back now....

If you want a full length visual novel, play Coalescence, the sequel made by the same studio. This is obviously a demo meant to practice systems and set up a basis to build off of. Very quick hit game completion, cool animations, and a nice intro into a much bigger, enticing story!

[h1]Before I played Dissent, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
