As lengthy as this game seems, the biggest problem I find here is that the progression seems to always keep me on the same points. I almost feel as though I can't change any part of the story save for details in the ending. Even when I try to roleplay as a heartless monster, all the choices were relatively the same.Very disappointed. I typically enjoy CYOA games, but this one just wasn't for me. I forced myself to play to a conclusion, where I died, though I'm not really sure what I did wrong. The stat mechanics, though much more simplistic, weren't as intuitive to me as most Choice of Games titles are (Heroes Trilogy, Hero of Kendrickstone, SLAMMED!); sometimes you can use your powers with no or very little ill effects, others you'll do something that seems much simpler and generate a huge amount of fatigue. I basically focused on the powers all the way through, learning more about them and trying to get better at them without overusing them, but I suppose it's possible I was too cautious.Though I never attempted any of the romance options, I suspect there's likely a lot of content there as is typical of CoG games. Overall, if you're REALLY itching for a CoG style CYOA, this is pretty inexpensive and you might like it, but as for me, I'd say to give this one a pass.. This was an excellent, exciting, and captivating short interactive story. I really enjoyed reading it and making various choices that affected the outcome. I will definitely be recommending this to my friends (bought 3 copies) and I look forward to reading it again and making different choices. This is the first interactive fiction that I have purchased on Steam and if this author makes more, then it will most definitely not be my last.. an amazing game, well designed with none of the lazy "oh we did not think you would go this route so we kill you" tricks.. I would put A Wise Use of Time in the middle of the pack as far as the Choice of Games products go. I played it through twice. Too many of my rather divergent choices led to the same result for my liking. In my second play-through, I'd intentionally set myself up as a much greedier and self-absorbed character and yet I ended up the City's Guardian and was told I'd been using my powers during downtime to thwart criminal activity when I really hadn't acted in ways that would make that likely, including stealing a case of money from an armored car! The writing was solid and I did enjoy the game. It had the right number of supporting characters but some of them were rather dull and I didn't feel much rapport for. Barring a nuetral rating, I'm going to recommend this product as it met all my basic criteria/expectations for a CYOA game.. I'm surprised by the amount of positive reviews, as this is one of the weakest CoGs I've ever played. The plot lost me very quickly, at some points it moves way too fast to be enjoyable, at others it drags terribly. At least one really impactful choice is taken away from player (basically games decides for you, even if you disagree and then criticize you for decision, that wasn't really yours to begin with). It opens up really strong, but then gets worse with every minute. Also, writing (especially during first interactions with your roommates) goes to "obvious and bad exposition" territory. Sadly, I cannot recommend it.. Very nice.I can acualy use my imagination for once in a game.. You must flee! Don't try to be a hero or you will end up a corpse just like me.. Spoilers* Stopped time, had the option to steal a case of money from an armored bank truck, decided to just steal a small stack, made 40 grand. Indulging in my kleptomaniac dreams without breaking the law 10/10 would rob a bank again.
