I've been thinking about the 5 Days a Stranger series again. Personal views about Yahtzee aside, I think most of the horror elements hold up well enough. However, going back after years of reading different horror stories and playing other horror games, I can't stand the writing. I think it comes down to the character writing. Every single line of dialogue feels solely expository, as if everyone is standing around waiting to feed you more info instead of being memorable characters. I also feel a lot of the dialogue, mostly from Trilby, feels too quippy and pulls me out of the scene. I played through 5 Days again and felt no investment for what happens to anyone in the cast.
