The game starting out is very slow and does it's best to drive a story. I found this to be rather un Appling and ineffective as I had preconceived notions of the game, and what the story was about. I imaged that it would focus on the tow that killed many other kids in that school, and about there perspective. Perhaps because of this i did not care much for the story, as it tried to humanize these two; but does not change much of what i thought about them.
With this game being made in with the "RPG Maker" i accepted the opaque graphics and tried to have as much fun with the game as possible, to look at this game as a game and not as a re-actment of the real life event. however, i found it very difficult to go along and play the game comfortably. after figuring out that the grey sprits on the walls were cameras and you were to walk side by side to the wall, and planted the bombs the game still goes on to some flash backs. I found this to be very annoying as it did not add much depth to the character in my opinion. With the begin being frustrating you then are allow to go on a rampage and kill the people in the parking lot.
Once i fought with one person and saw them dead on the floor, i was just disgusted, and really did not want to play the game any more. the action did nothing for me it was not "fun" to play like that. having the weak enemies, and very little exp coming from them plus the dead body laying there did not sit well with me. Something about this whole situation was not right i felt bad and just wanted to skip the rest of the game after that first fight. This was different from other games that i have play where you do kill innocent people, who don't even have a fight chance like in grand theft auto, or in the no Russian mission in modern warfare 2. I in fact enjoyed killing those people and saw those features as interesting however in this case it is just wrong. Perhaps its because it is dealing with children or because it was base off a true event, i will not know for sure but i do know that this game hit me in the worng spot.
I walked thought the game and did not fight anyone else, and was careful to avoid them until i had to fight the group of teachers in the library. After that horrible encounter the two characters kill themselves and go to what looks like hell. As it looks like this game is becoming more game like perhaps i'll enjoy playing it, nonetheless the begin is the most disturbing thing i have ever witnessed.
