Does anyone know if the writing is any better than It Takes Two? My gf and I loved the gameplay in that game but the writing was just awful.

I don’t know if it’s amazing writing, but I was cringing less often with this one than i was with ‘it takes two’

It’s not.

I’m still pretty early on but the dialogue is awful, and the two main characters are authors whose best ideas for novels amount to trolls and cyber ninjas. Not exactly unique or inspiring books guys. (Maybe this is some sort of point or satire I haven’t hit yet but I doubt it)

At least, like It Takes Two, the gameplay is reasonably enjoyable, particularly if you’re playing with someone who doesn’t play games a lot. It’s flashy in that Uncharted sort of way that will make them go “whoa cool”.

I’m not sure what the intent was, but the message we took was “children ruin everything”

The kid looked creepy as fuck too.

It’s way better in my opinion. My fiancé and I have the same opinion about ITT as you described, and we both enjoy Split Fiction much more!

It has perfect review scores so it must be way better than ITT, which, I agree, ended horribly, as if maybe they were rushed or out of budget by the end or something. I look forward to SF way more.

I can’t compare, since I’ve never seen or played ITT, but the dialogue in Split Fiction feels natural.

ITT’s ending was extremely disappointing and some of the writing felt artificial or plot-forced, like not how the characters would behave based on how their values were developed earlier. It doesn’t seem like SF has this problem.
