(P)lanets - the life of normalcy has ended!

(Free)

Marin was a normal girl, until one day she fell down the staircase at school. She had a concussion, and when she awoke in the nurse's room, something had changed. She could hear the thoughts of everyone around her! What was going on...? It was then a mysterious boy appeared before her. “Come with me, where there are others like you.” Like that, Marin's days at Planets began.  Perhaps she will find love through the chaos of a new and strange school.

Honestly, while I found the concept behind this really cool - and very X-MEN like - it wasn't handled as well as I would have like it to be. It was a nice story, but through the majority of it it felt more like just a normal, average high school.

While the guys did have powers, the MC's powers were not a major story point. In fact, many times the more powerful/experienced psychics can block her from reading their mind. That was necessary for drama and plot development but it seemed to not have been thought out very well.

I did like it and I did like the story, but it was really difficult to get involved with the plot itself. Luckily enough, the guys were everything but difficult to get involved with. I adored them. Seriously, all three of them were just so interesting and fun. Once again though, certain parts of the writing/plotting for the character arcs lacked a little. That didn't detract from my enjoyment, but with slightly tighter plotting and writing the story would have just been amazing.

I really do not have a favorite guy, I loved each of their stories and each of them.

It really is a shame that the creator was going to make and new and improved version of the game - with all new love interests and the lack of psychic classes would have been addressed - but she lost interest in it. I really sounded as though it would be awesome - but I completely understand being unable to work on something that you don't really care about.
