Review
The main character of this story, Aiden, establishes right away that his goal is to win the love of his longtime friend, Laura, on the day of her wedding. Maybe I should have picked up on it right from the first scene, but it becomes clear over the course of the event and through some flashbacks that Aiden isn’t entirely a 100% reliable narrator. We are told numerous times that he is a “good guy,” and there are parts to the story where it seems like maybe he is. At other times, he seems like he isn’t very self-aware, and brings his problems on himself. The longer it went, the more inconsistent it seemed his character was, until the climactic moment. Then, (Spoiler - click to show)during the wedding ceremony, Aiden seems to go full-on delusional. We know by this point he has absolutely no chance with Laura. It was then that a surprising list of options were given that I genuinely believed could take the story in different directions. I was disappointed after playing through each of them that none made any difference. When I finally read the ending, I still wasn’t sure what to think. Maybe the epilogue was meant to be taken at face value, but when I read it back a second time, I wondered if the author intended for it to have multiple interpretations. Maybe one day I will discuss it at length with some fellow players and finally learn the true nature of Aiden Bestman once and for all.
