The faces are scary, lip-syncing's awful, voice work's bland, gameplay's repetitive, structure's annoying...
but the Twin Peaks stuff is grand. You can just tell whoever made it has a deep, abiding love for that show. Which makes me kind of dig it, despite the flaws. The moment I entered a fairly faithful recreation of the Double R diner and a cop at the counter enthused about the great coffee...
Which sort of disappointed me because I realized I would GLADLY play a game that involved only walking around town and interacting with oddball citizens over a game that has you shooting shadow-people in the woods.

Actually, I take that back. The game at least tries to do something fresh. And while the story so far barely has my attention, it's still way better than most video-game plots.

banging random NPCs of the opposite sex was quite a refreshing twist on standard quest lines.
i tapped it once and realised i wasnt high enough level to hit the story arch that would allow me to tap it again.
