It's just not worth bothering with this series anymore tbh.
Honestly this series was always a mixed bag since the start despite it's moments of brilliance with problems that have only gotten worse with everything after the original run, while this game is one of the better post OG series titles it's way too short and this is only the first quarter of a game that was supposed to be out in early 2014 with it being freaking 2022 now and only having half of the four parts alongside the entire development being filled to the brim with mismanagement incompetence and controversy.
Then I was shocked to find out last year Andrew Hussie and WhatPumpkin games hat used fear tactics and baseless threats to attempts to silence Sarah for having a segment where she mentioned some rumours and accusations about this game's troubled development and treatment of employees, all which she was pretty generous with and giving the benefit of the doubt and addressing both sides.Ĭindy and Hussie sent an embarrassing string of emails and threats where WhatPumpKinGames's head was comically villainous and Hussie did nothing but ramble in circles with inane rants about how "Harmful" truthful journalism and documentation is and how he didn't bother to watch her video in the first place (Which had been rather positive overall) and repeatedly incriminated himself and WPG far more than anything that had been shown before with exposing further how all accusations about how the mismanagement of the series, mistreatment and refusal to pay employees, and general shady practices like purposely erasing members from the credits of games. As a casual (ex) fan of this series I picked up this game some time ago (but with my bad habits never got round to properly playing), I haven't had much interaction with the series in recent years but got nostalgic of it after Jan Misali's excellent retrospective of the original run.īeing nostalgiac of this complete oddity of a part Webcomic part Flash Animation part Interactive ask blog part RPG part adventure game spoof part genuine adventure game part visual novel part chatlog part Betty Crocker hate-mail part poorly written officilized fanfiction insane crackpot of a franchise with an equally nuts community I went on a binge of videos about other series and unhinged tumblr fiascoes, there I found a wonderful documentary history of the different stages of the franchise by Sarah Z that explored everything from the humble beginning to the runaway success of Act5 to the convention disasters to even the patreon sequel fanfic fiasco with Rose cheating on her GF/Wife so she can give birth to Jade's child as a wet nurse in secret by getting knocked up by her furry futa dog dong she got when fusing with her pet (Yes, that's a real thing apparently and I miss the times I was not aware of that information.), wonderful video that captured the irreplicable one of a kind insanity that is this series
