Gameplay

What can I expect exactly? I have an idea but I'm still not very sure about it.

To what game would you compare it or what do you get to do?

I would compare it to Life Is Strange with some Heavy Rain control mechanics. There is very little gameplay, a lot less than Life Is Strange as it doesn't have a 1000 things to interact with, it is a slow set of stories, but is beautifully written and animated.

Have spent about 3 hours in the Gamepass version so far and am loving it, sadly I won't be able to leave a steam review as I haven't bought it here.

Based on my first 10minutes.
It's like a Hard Rain, you walk around environments and interact.
The story theme has a real Dr Who vibe to it, where weird things kick off right in the opening 3minutes.

Do you mean heavy rain? I don't find anything with Hard Rain yet.
Anyway in that chase it's probably not my thing. I mean those are good games but not what I would like to buy for the full price. I will see what it costs in a minute.

Its basically an interactive Story - walking around to find one to start a dialog and choose from 3 different answers plus sometimes itsybitsy tiny minigames like press A + W + D +S in that order to stirr a spoon in a cup or AD AD AD AD to run.

It is really about the story, not the gameplay.

Not exactly, Donna's Sister is lesbian and has a relationship but that's about it regarding lgbt content.
John and Jack are straight and Meena is too.

Good. Some guy in review said that it's too much lgbt. So the is very close to forbidden.

3 trailers without any gameplay shown. Devs seem ashamed of it.
Way I see it, it reeks of walking simulator.

Yes, it is a story heavy walking simulator with little gameplay. Given your tone it isn't a game for you. But for people who like that genre, it is an awesome game. I haven't finished it yet, but I am loving it so far.

It's very much a predetermined story as though you were watching a tv show or movie. The dialogue choices all seem to point toward the same response without the ability to actually change any outcome, and I'm not quite sure what failing a QTE does, if anything.
So yeah you'd get the same experience watching a let's play on youtube more or less.

Still the story itself is compelling and is keeping me interested.. even if only one of the three story protagonists themselves is tolerable to me so far (can't stand the chav schoolgirl or the deadpan toxic woman so far

)

Couple of hours in and there's been zero game play really. You walk around, you make conversation choices that don't really matter and you soak in the story. The story is interesting so far, but it's all going to rely on that for you it seems.

The dad isn't much better. This is perhaps the game's greatest failure to me: all three of the protagonists are thoroughly unlikable.

That and the abysmal dialogue/voice acting.
