I actually played a bit of this and could not stand it in the least. I liked what it was trying to do, but holy shit, everyone was a hipster! Like...whether the teacher, or a student, the bongo player hired to accompany the open mic poetry slam or the janitor, everyone was talking like their heads were lodged so firmly up their asses that they forgot how normal conversation works. Seriously, nobody talks like the characters in Life is Strange.
I don't usually give to much attention to dialogue unless it's very good or very bad, but for your Telltale-esque kind of game, dialogue is a massively important thing for me, since it's expected to carry a lot of the game. So I couldn't really get past about...I think it was half an hour?
