How did a Ukrainian flag end up here? :UKRAINE:

Garbage

The second amateur indie vn from King Key Games, and it's all about holidays in Phoenix and chance encounters. I'll be frank: after the previous game from this dev, my expectations were low, really low. I had low expectations to begin with, since the screenshots and the Steam page screamed low budget. However, while the quality is still below average, the writing and length improved a little. King of Bali was very short, with a lot of meaningless choices, irksome volcanoes, zero character development, horrible pacing, etc. This time, the length was approximately doubled, and the number of romanceable characters halved, allowing for more character building. I'm not saying it's good now, as the dialogues are still pretty shallow and are too rushed to be believable, but there is an improvement. Also, the choices play a bigger role, not just creating an illusion of freedom. However, there are perhaps too many choices, but at least they're not vague, so reaching most endings is relatively intuitive. The secret one might be a bit tricky though, as it requires a specific set of choices. Speaking of endings, there are five or six endings, depending on how you count, contributing to the …

It seems light and easy, but be prepared for endless bad background music. No matter what I did, it wouldn't stay muted. After the 10th time of going back in to configuration to mute it (and the mute button was lit every time), I just gave up. The game itself... not bad. A bit more contrived than many, but it was creative in leading you into each story.
