That was written either by AI, or by the screenwriters of "Veep!" - and I won't be convinced otherwise

This is also a good time to mention that Larry and I (bizarrely) got a 2017 Guinness World Record for the script. We never actually received a certificate, which would make me a living god in my 8 year oldā€™s eyes, so if anyone knows anyone there who can make this happenā€¦

Guinness World Record entry: ā€œLongest script for a graphic adventure game
Screenwriters Graham Reznick and Larry Fessenden (both USA) wrote 1,000 pages of dialogue for Until Dawn (2015), reduced from an initial 10,000-page outline. The script's epic length was in part owing to the game's extended development period. It was originally announced as an action title back in 2012.ā€

The second episode is definitely stronger than the first. That's partially because the story itself is stronger (creepy dolls > vampires), but also because the screenwriters clearly recognized "OK, we have to actually explain to the audience what the deal with Miyu even is."
