Player Comments on Bright Days

This feels like poorly disguised Watchmen fan-fiction and that's my favorite part about this whole thing. Also got a chuckle from how the option to pay off Harry for information is proposed but instead you could only leave or break his fingers. Keep up the good work!

This was good, and I do love the Question. It was also incredibly short, and I couldn't help but wish it were longer. The characters were believable, the plot was nice, and I hope to read more of this story line.

I realized I am kind of a violent person by nature. It works most of the time, though. End #3.

I had an absolute blast playing this game!

I loved the gritty, pulpy atmosphere Chris creates in "Bright days". The fast pacing and the relentless action really lends itself to a Question story. This is, admittedly, my first Question storygame, not counting all the short stories I've read, but I can tell this one was really awesome!

I really enjoyed the friendship/dynamic between Blue Beetle and the Question. True to form, the Blue Beetle is a street level vigilante, fighting crime using fancy gadgets, complementing the Question's reliance on more traditional fisticuffs quite nicely.

There was a really cool mechanic involving a bit of simple scripting, but the scripting did a lot for the game. The game tracks your actions based on how violent you choose to be, and depending on it, will give you an alternate ending.

My favorite branch was the branch where you chose to go full Rorschach mode, and the quote at the end, "I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me" was the cherry on top.

The fight scenes were written really well. Chris does not shy away from depicting extreme violence, and we as the readers, are treated to all kinds of bone-snapping and crunching, aided by the excellent stylistic choice of onomatopoeia.

Even though the Rorschach ending was definetly my favorite, I did enjoy the others, particularly the cliffhanger ending where the Question beats up Blue Beetle once, then they later meet again for a rematch. I love how the story just cuts off at that point, it was perfect.

Overall, this is an action-packed fun ride that balances really good character work with unrelenting violence and even themes of friendship and betrayal thrown in. I give this a 7/8. Thanks for this awesome story, Chris!

I had a blast playing this. I got ending #4, then I went back to find other endings. I got ending 4 again, before getting ending 2 the next time.
