I'm playing Lost Records: Bloom & Rage and am desperately waiting for the story to get interesting. It is an extremely slow burn. And with some fake outs I kind of lose hope of it ever getting interesting.
And I kinda hate the dialogue system. You can basically move around while talking and look at stuff and sometimes have a limited amount of time to chime in. Which is fine from a realism standpoint but somehow it doesn't make the dialogue feel more realistic. Pair that up with some dialogue choices requiring you to be standing on certain spots and looking at certain things makes it much too stressful for a game that should be more like a relaxing point and click adventure.
oh i lovvveeeed Lost Records (but I also adore the LiS games). I definitely recommend sticking through it's clunkiness (I agree that the 'stand in right place to give dialogue option X' is a weird system tho)
I tried to watch some gameplay footage of it earlier this year as a Let's Player I watch played it but couldn't stand it. I concluded the game probably just wasn't meant for me, but it's possible it just isn't good. It looked incredibly boring.
