I got worried in the beginning though, because it said my family was just murdered and that I was hungry, and when it cut to the blackjack scene the two characters kind of looked like steaks.

I was really shocked by how dark it got with the murdered family thing right at the start (although I think that's mostly because I associate gameboy-like games with happy games like pokemon). As others have said it would have been great to have some \"choices\" even if it didn't change the story at all (I went backwards at one point so maybe that was a choice?)
