I hope I care more about these characters than I do about the ones in the show.

Surprisingly good game but I was disappointed how a lot of the open-endedness that was promised really just equates to being forced into the same outcomes and scenarios.

I don't think they really promised open-endedness. They promised that the game would tailor itself around how you play. So far, the differences have been pretty subtle, but I can understand why. Some things in the game's plot are important or canon and need to happen. Otherwise, the narrative structure of the game would just be incomprehensible.

Hopefully, some of the smaller decisions will become more significant in future episodes.

I started playing this and loved it! I have the comic compendium but haven't started reading it yet. I hear it follows that instead of the series, which I haven't seen. I found myself actually caring about the characters in the game. Yeah it was like an interactive novel but it grabbed my attention and I'm excited for the rest of the episodes.
