This is the game's biggest strength, as there are several points where the playable characters interact with each other or spot each other somewhere, creating continual interest about the on-going plot and wanting to see the scene again from the other character's perspective.

I admire the difficulty of tying together so many paths into a coherent story, but especially with all the false paths, it can be tricky to follow and navigate.
