Actually not all that good
Own it on steam. First of all, this is barely a crpg, this is a visual novel with some light rpg elements. With combat being 100% absent, all you do is read text and though the writing is pretty good, after an actual full hour of nonstop talking to the same person, I tend to check out. People keep comparing this to Planescape Torment but dont be fooled, it is nowhere near as good and the things that it shares with Planescape come off as derivative. The whole depression angle is reddit and cringe and the story does nothing interesting with it. Characters range from unmemorable to ok, however Kim, literally the only companion you ever get is hilariously underdeveloped as a character. Skill checks are based on dice rolls instead of stat requirements which is trash and heavily incentivizes save scumming as opposed to smart character building. I also dont see much variety in character builds as there are multiple essential skill checks you need to pass in order to progress. The plot really is nothing interesting. It consists of the overall murder mystery and the PC's personal reddit-tier struggle with drugs and depression, which as stated earlier is extremely played out. You never do any substantial detective work either, no matter what you do you get railroaded in the same direction every time. There is therefore almost no replay value. The ending sucks too, just dumping all revelatory information onto you, instead of discovering it yourself throughout the game. Overall, the game is entertaining enough to hold most people's interest but it really is not the masterpiece people make it out to be. Also, the devs are unironic Stalinists, but depending on what person you are you might find that based. Buy on a sale.
