I love how they handled the characters very well, showing hate and love relationships and giving the reason why what they are. Playing as a character trying to keep everything together and makes the hardest decisions is like real life. It may not affect the story because it's not about the destination, it's the journey. It's like a train track: there are two path you can take, but no matter which one you take, you'll arrive at your destination. The game mostly affects the characters and you as you play along. It's emotional, depressing, and probably the game that had made anyone cried in a video game in a while.
