Judging by other episodic games, "a long ass time" is most probable.

Wise choice I guess Very Happy I wanted to do the same, but once you dip your toe in that sweet adventure/mystery water, it's hard to get out of the pool, if you know what I mean Very Happy

Thanks, mein freunde!

Sadly, I'm WAAAAY to swamped with work right now to do anything more than browsing forums/news/wathever, so let's forget about diving into a narrative-driven game ATM Sad

Do you have adaptive v-sync enabled? Don't even remember if that was an option in the menus in that game, but that sounds suspiciously like what's going on. Basically, if your framerate drops below your refresh rate of 60, it will halve it, hence 30.

Check the display/graphics options.

I have fixed it. Ingame if i set vsync on or off it doesn't go further around 30-34fps. Now i have changed the vsync to fast in the nvidia control panel and now my fps is around the 120fps.

Ugh... The dialogues.. The voice acting and animations are absolutely terrible. The gameplay system seems very interesting though, but the way the people keep responding weirdly because i withheld something they didn't know i did, is super weird.

I played with a controller, still crap performance.

AK has a point, but the interest quickly resumed! Very Happy

I also restarted some chapters since I wasn't very happy with results.

This was one hell of a story/mystery, but I must say I felt fucking ROBBED at the ending I got. Without spoiling anything, after the ending itself, all it did was give a small paragraph summary about what each character went on to do. Very vague and up in the air.

Spoilers ahead...

Basically, the ending (the one I got at least) felt incredibly rushed. It happens, then you don't really get to see the consequences of it. I kind of expected a lot more exposition on the guests you spent the entire game with, that they would play a far deeper role in the outcome of events towards the end etc. At the very least, I wanted to see an in-game cutscene flash forward of the consequences of my actions on the wider world. Got nothing of the sort. Sad

Maybe I just chose wrong. Who knows.

Good game nonetheless though!
