Played through another hour or so of the game. It was good.
The ability to turn back time and remake choices has the magical power to make me incredibly uncertain of any choices I make. I probably remade the same choice of whether I directly intervened when a security guard was threatening a girl or if I took incriminating photographic evidence for later about four times before my CHAMPION OF JUSTICE instincts kicked in and I decided to live with the fact that in my playthrough I'm doomed to be on the bad side of the Law. That adds the security guard to the principal and the rich kid for influential people I've made angry.
I'm learning more random trivia than I'd ever hoped to about photography. The game's bringing it to light a lot, though not as much as the hodgepodge of other messages/agendas about high school life. Stuff about social media, cliques, etc. It's a high school experience a bit different from what I remember, but then again I haven't been in high school for five years, and technology marches on.
More and more emphasis on the missing girl. Everybody knows her, and she's all things to all people. I WONDER WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT

Played through the first few scenes of the game. One of those choose your own adventure point and click type games in the vein of Telltale Games. Looked like it was just going to be a high school story at first blush, but now there's time control powers, so that's cool. With great power comes great responsibility. Or so the character Max thought, anyways. Saved the life of a girl being threatened at gunpoint by a fellow student.
The first major choice in the game was whether or not to report the fellow student's action to the principal or not. I technically had the choice to rewind and explore both options, but I just decided to report the student. It felt like the right thing to do. Though I can only imagine there are repercussions. I hope it doesn't end the life of the girl I was trying to save in the first place.
Some foreshadowing about a lighthouse and a 19 year old gone missing. We'll see what that's about.
