I actually don't. I think the 2-months wait between each episode and all the discussions about theories, different playthroughs and choices really enhance the experience. This is a game that loose a lot of its charme by binging, IMHO.
BTW here's a quick check on my relationship status with possible rescuers from the dark room:
. Nathan. got him suspended, let Warren kick his ass: definitely not
. David. stepped in to take Kate's side, got him kicked out the house: mmh, I'd say it's a no
. Frank. Tried to shoot him, didn't hurt his dog but ended up stabbing him in the leg: hard
. Victoria. I made fun of her, and she didn't trust my advice: nope
. I also stole the disabled student's fund (so Welles might not be my hero) and almost never talked to Samuel. The only people whose good side I'm on right now are Kate, Alyssa (I warned her each and every time) and Warren. I hope they allow Warren to be one of the possible rescuers... otherwise I think I'm done
I'm also surprisingly okay with the episodic format and the wait between episodes, it sort of enhances the narrative in a way I can't properly explain. For example, it's cool and rewarding to see how a decision I made back in January (comfort Victoria) has turned out to be very relevant in a conversation with her 5 months after the fact (I managed to convince her to believe me because I treated her well back then).
Regarding choices so far, this is my situation:
- Nathan: Told on him to Principal Wells, got him suspended, but I stopped Warren from kicking his ass: I don't have much hopes since the poor kid is unstable as fuck anyway
- David: Took Kate's side but later sided with him instead of Chloe, he's grateful to Max for that: since he was already keeping tabs on Jefferson, I think he might be able to help, I have high hopes for him to do something heroic once and for all!
- Frank: Same, didn't hurt his dog but he stabbed himself in the leg: doubt he'll want anything to do with Max/Chloe, he said as much
- Victoria: Was overall nice to her through the entire game, she told Max to text her if she needed anything: I think she'd be willing to help, but how much can she do, realistically?
- Warren: I've turned him down many times, but he still wants to play hero: might be relevant regardless of what the player has done so far, seems to be (or want to be) pretty involved
- Kate: Alive and well in my game, but still in the hospital; she's in contact with Max through text messages, maybe she'll get worried and do something if she notices Max isn't answering her texts anymore?
- Alyssa: Helped her every time, it's her turn to save Max now!
Can't wait for ep. 5, but at the same time I'm sad to see this story end. I love the world and the characters!
EDIT: I believe Max will have to escape on her own and using normal means instead of depending on her rewind power. It'd be cool to have another moment like Kate's suicide attempt where her rewind wasn't working. It looks like whatever Jefferson injected her with was messing with her power, so it might be a possibility...
