honest thoughts about Let Him Go (the update)

this game definitely changed.

i'll start with what i liked about it

the new dialogue was pretty good, i think it showed everyone's personalities better, and also gave more clues about the kind of friendship Spawn and Ring had

compared to the 90 second walks we had before, the new objectives system gives us more time to look around, which is great. 

the character redesigns were pretty cool, i liked Lime Girl's and None Texture's

i loved the updated good ending, none texture's dialogue was much better at delivering the story's message, and the new cutscene was great and a nice lead-in to the next game, which i'm looking forward to 👍 btw join the discord if you wanna see some sneak peeks for the sequel, You Will Never Let Him Go.

now a few complaints...

the new music was alright, but ngl my first thought on hearing it was wishing they kept the old one. the old music was super chill yet had that playfulness that complemented the old roblox aesthetic. and the distorted music at the end of the old game was creepier tbh

the minigame on day 3, even tho it was simple enough, legit almost made me break my pc!! replayed the game at least thrice while trying to get the good ending and it would keep screwing me over and making me redo it all over again, which was frustrating. it might be my fault for having the reaction time of a blunt crayon. but other people can attest that the minigame was way too fast, and i often ended up in an area that's too bright for me to read the instructions (the text is in white and the floor outside is also white). 

on the last fail i just slammed my fist on my laptop, which made my whole screen freeze and glitch out? that's on me, i think i've been lashing out at games more than i normally would, probably a separate issue for me to look into. ≡[。。]≡ a quick reboot fixed it.

big complaint: the music kept playing during the bad ending, which totally killed the mood it had in the old version!! imo the sudden silence after the car crash was a huge factor in the impact that the bad ending used to have. maybe that was just a bug or an oversight, but it just really bothers me :(

i was a little bit sad that some of my headcanons about Fire Ring are kinda false now and ill probably end up taking a different turn with my fanfiction about this game, but i'm over it now. maybe even a little excited.

tldr, i think the update is nice and the good ending is improved but the old game had better sound design. overall, 7/10 game. hope the devs don't find this hurtful, wasn't trying to be (';w;)
