Yes Cora I do think that qualifies as a 'blow,' could you not muster up just a tiny bit more believable human emotion please? You've just told me of my Father's demise in the same tone that you might inform someone that we're out of chocolate chip ice cream.

Let's just say I'll be looking for the reviews to say "It really finds its feet and becomes less consistently cringeworthy later in the game" before I decide to drop full price on this.
Yeah, this is very concerning. The game seems like a comedy of errors at this point. Bad writing that gets delivered with bad voice acting (aside from a few characters supposedly) through bad animations. These all hurt a game's ability to tell an interesting story.

A major problem is that the first section of the game is riddled with things that will push fans away. So even if the rest of the game might get better, a lot of people might not want to see it through to that point.
