i started Chained Echoes a while back because i wanted something a little lighter fare than Big Heavy Narrative Themes and also lighter on realtime action, just y'know, a popcorn rpg
but i've had such a hard time sticking with it because it's plot has just not been that interesting? it's committed the cardinal sin of... not even being bad, just kind of bland and boring
im also critical of most of its systems, feels like they're just adding complexity for complexity's sake, not necessarily introducing much depth (although individually, i think most of them are pretty clever ideas)
