I've played many HOG games and usually ignore the "Storyline" fairly quickly. This time I read every word. As a Lifestyle Coach, I found the characters quite realistic and the issues they had to deal with just like people in real life.
Would real people resolve these emotional challenges so quickly? Probably not. But the main character did a good job of bringing together several estranged people without moralizing, guilting, or lecturing them. The people who wrote this Game deserve a lot of credit for teaching living skills in such a gentle way.
I almost felt sad when I came to the end of the game and will not know exactly how some of the character's lives turned out. I've NEVER felt this way before. Maybe it's because of such little connection I have with people right now during the "lock-down" due to the V. (You know what I mean)
I highly recommend buying the game........
It is set up to play again by "Skipping" all the dialogue, but I'm not sure I'd bother to do that.....the real fun was the STORY itself.
