I played these. I had a plan to only play one today, but it was hard to stop, especially with the cliffhanger ending of episode 2!

For those not familiar with the lore, Marion is basically retelling the story of Dread in different formats. So the story stays the same, with small variations. This also leads to less opportunities for branching than in other VN games. While there are interactive choices to make, like what to look at or what to say next, this is first and foremost a reading experience with pretty pictures and fitting pirate music.

(The pictures are not just pretty. They are frame them and hang them on your wall pretty, especially the ones from underwater.)

While the point and click earlier version of this story is quite experimental on how the story time jumps back and forth throughout the narrative, this one stays chronological. Instead, the point of view may differ, and we end up making choices for several characters, both friends and foes. This gives us the opportunity to better understand the characters and their raison d'etre, while it's at the same time limiting, as giving free choice for actions would lead to too much branching for the story to stay on track.

I'm on board for the rest of Dread's story.
