Does it look like Gods Will Be Watching?

Hi,
I'm thinking about buying the game. From what I read, it uses a lot of different gameplay styles. I tried their previous game some time ago, Gods Will Be Watching, and did not finish it because I really disliked the gameplay. It somehow felt random to me, or featured a kind of difficulty I simply did not want to overcome - also working with stats is not always very entertaining.

I did not want to spoil myself too much with gameplay videos, so I was wondering if some of you could tell me if this game's gameplay feels kind of similar to their previous game.

(Otherwise I'm a fond of story driven video games like visual novels, so I know there is something for me in here. Also, this reminds me of va-11 hall-4)

This might be better for you, i haven't finished it yet, but as far as i know and see it's mostly a narrative game where you can't actually fail, instead the story is branching.

That's actually why i haven't finished because of disliking the gameplay, there's just too little challenge for my taste. I've finished GwbW with all achievements, including only in-game ones. Getting all achievements here would be challenging as well, but not progressing in the story itself.

Then I have no reason to not try this game.
Thanks for the info.

It seems to me that a lot of player have trouble with visual-novel-like games (especially in the west). It has a weird status, like trying to mix a book with a game, and not focusing too much on the gameplay (I never played a visual novel with something you could call a challenge, just narrative branching).

(or maybe people mostly know VN from eroge)

Yeah, this game is actually good and the plot is great as expected from these developers, someday i'll finish it.
And it's still not as non-challenging asvisual novels, there is a challenge in tasks presented, it's just you can't completely fail causing a reload, you just have to live with consequences.
