The story´s good, though part 1 & 2 were better indeed.
The reason is that the choices you make in the dialogue don´t have any effect at all.
You get the same result for all options which makes the choices completely unnecessary.
Therefore this part is only a "narration" rather than a "game".
Hence the only game would be the mini-game.
But even for that you don´t need to do anything to win as already stated in the Author Comments.
Hopefully chapter 5will go back to be like chapter 1 & 2 where the choices were important for success.
