Editor review
Vector Marsh runs a three-act structure across forty short scenes. Decision points branch into two endings, and a chapter-replay mode lets you try the other path without restarting from the beginning. The branching structure is the design choice that earns the adventure tag.
The decision pacing is honest. Most decisions matter in dialogue colour but not in path outcome; a few decisions have real consequence and the game does not signal which is which. The unsignalled-stakes choice is divisive; players who like blind decisions will appreciate it and players who want clarity will not.
Played across two long evenings and a Helsinki Helsinki tram ride. The format runs slightly long for commute play; expect to break each act across multiple rides.
The weakness is the chapter-replay UI. The replay menu does not show which decisions you have already explored, so completionists have to track their branches on paper. A decision-tree view would help. Three stars overall.
