It's not bad, but it's not good either, and that's why it's a mediocre snooze-fest of a game. The characters feel like cardboard cutouts, not really doing much to make them stand out, and the story feels like it's trying to rush past certain sections of the game that ends up making you wonder why they even bothered including them instead of trimming the fat and extending the better parts of the story (the mall, a ton of the office encounters, the vacation section that's awkwardly used to push the plot along). In the game, you're tasked with coming up with different incantations or technologies that you can use to influence certain situations, and the game tries beating you over the head that the two paths are unique. However, the magic and science aspects are just flavor as each choice from one of the two has a counterpart from the other path that fills almost the exact same role, and it just changes a few lines of text when used. Ultimately, there are really only two big choices that impact the story, and they're at the very end, so you won't really get to see the consequences of your choices other than a few lines of text in the epilogue. I'm surprised a choose-your-own-adventu…3 found this helpful
fun!
Really good story even when you play it again. Till now, its one of the best.
one of the few choose your own adventures that i did (i hated the book kind and thought they were lame) this one was decent enough to keep me enticed to at least 1 ending
This game is amazing! Exactly the kind of text adventure I like and a great cyberpunk magical story. I enjoyed it. I play one of these every weekend and I recommend coming back to Choice of Games to cheer yourself up on a Sunday evening before the work or school week.
If I were to give a review on the various endings I got from finishing "MetaHuman Inc." a few times, it would be a scathing and negative one, but as it stands, most of the game is fun. The choices are interesting, and the outcomes are reasonable. The game’s not in any way a masterpiece, but far better than some of the other alternatives available. All in all, I’d say it’s worth reading through at least once. (5/10)
