This game has really caught my attention for various reasons. It's far from a perfect game, but you can really see that a lot of love went into creating it. They really created such a great setting, and the art style and lighting really evokes that melancholic atmosphere they were aiming for. The characters also feel real because they're all flawed. Max, the main character, isn't a typical hero protagonist. In the first ten minutes, the game establishes her an introvert (in a rather clever way), which already sets her apart from video game protagonists. There's a lot going on in the story (among other things, the butterfly effect is an important plot arc in the story, and there's also a Twin Peaks-like mystery concerning a student who disappeared a few months ago without any trace), but the core of the story revolves around all these characters trying to find their way in life. Also, I haven't really had this much fun coming up with theories about a game since, well, Panzer Dragoon.
There's certainly a chance that it'll all fall apart in the end, but at the moment this has the potential to become one of the best games I've ever played.
