So many of the Steam reviews for Opportunity read like: "The writing is excellent, I really loved the characters, the art is wonderful, however as there are no branching plot lines or multiple endings this is NOT A GAME and therefore this will be a NEGATIVE review"
Well, never let it be said that I don't listen to player feedback, so when the final full 5-chapter version of Opportunity launches (Q1 2023 if all goes well), it will launch with an unlockable New Game+ mode which will be made available after completing a full playthrough. New Game+ features will include:
- The same exact story as the vanilla game
- However, at random points throughout the narrative a three-choice menu will appear
- Choosing the correct option of the three advances the story as normal
- Choosing an incorrect option kills you instantly and dumps you back to the main menu
- There will be grinding sections in which you will have to click through the same menu and dialog 25 times (or more!) in order to raise a stat like Perseverance or Dignity high enough for you to advance through the (again, completely unchanged) story
- Every time you're killed by choosing an incorrect menu option, you will be granted a glimpse of a horrible little man scrambling across the background
- Glimpses of the horrible little man will be tracked on a Glimpse Counter in the top-left of the screen
- If the Glimpse Counter exceeds 99, the game will play a brief GLIMPSE OVERLOAD animation before crashing
- Attempting to run the game after GLIMPSE OVERLOAD has been achieved deletes system32 from your PC
This is good, yes? This is good video games? You feel engaged now, correct?
