And you could do better? You do realise that if they paid like top actors to do this the game would cost 10x as much right? Do you know what a budget is?

They look to be an improvement from the first game. The fact that you think you're clever for coming here to insult the devs or the game is just sad. Hopefully one day you grow up.

I personally felt the actors caught being an influencer perfectly. Had a few good laughs!

I tought MIna nailed it in the sobbing always sad influencer and rex was super cool. Acting was good for a 5$ game could have been much worse.

I feel like the people complaining about the acting have lost sight of the FMV game genre. There are so many great FMV games from my childhood (I'm 35, so we're talking the 90's) with larger budgets than this game, that had sketchy acting. It's kind of what you expect and look for when playing these games, given that most of them are done with a lower budget.

I thought all of the actors in this game did just fine, given the subject material. All of them are supposed to be semi-♥♥♥♥♥♥ people who are obsessed with fame and "likes" on social media, and willing to do anything to sell their particular brand, whether it be modeling, music, or an entrepreneur. Many of the videos were cringe-worthy, but that seemed by design as all of the personalities of these people are ♥♥♥♥♥♥, embarrassing, and cringey. Hence the entire supernatural plot of this game.

Really hoping the team makes a third game!

This captures how I feel exactly! I was worried I came off sounded bad when I said it's B movie esque... but I LOVE B movies and the cringey acting! And who doesn't just love all the cutscenes from old games such as Night Trap? I get that song in my head ALL THE TIME.

I wouldnt say it is awful. It might seem at first, but if you made it to the end of the game where characters do not pretend someone they are not, the acting is great.

it is driving me crazy I cannot figure out if these are real people or not

The bad acting is a feature of this game, it serves the purpose very well.
Indeed, in the final scene, the acting is better than during the rest of the game
