Pretensious, overreaching.

Word limit = butchered review. + - Some of the dialogue makes you reflect on your own life/thoughts. -"Different" enough to be worth a try. - "Detective part" = at times engaging. - Rarely write reviews = compelled to do so. - - When two steps ahead of the game, I have to wait for the game to "catch up", so that I can proceed with the case. Even on obvious clues. - "Encyclopedic characters" overly explain even basic concepts. Dunning - kruger effect. - Grammar and spelling mistakes in games where the devs clearly are not native english speakers = Excusable. However, when trying to "be clever/learned. Consult a dictionary before an encyclopedia. Bloodpath (bloodbath), "Here face (her)", "Theives" (Savoir faire). Minimum = get skill descriptions right. - Clothing with stats = not new in rpgs, not a "role playing tool", it is a micro managing tool for passing dice rolls.. Argument = Unecessary to chase those "skill checks", "roll with the punches". Counterargument = less xp, "gimped character" If you like the game enough to do multiple playthroughs, lots of gear swapping/save scumming needed to see all the dialogue options. - Too many dice rolls for a game with "unprecedented freedom of choice". Slavery to RNG is not freedom. - Bugs. Equipped a bottle of alcohol once, refrained from drinking it, = rest of the the game my character was holding a bottle in his hand, no matter what I equipped. Tried to punch a character = failed = game froze in continuous animation, multiple examples. Object interaction often means walking back and forth to properly "trigger". - Cringy voice acting on certain "actors". Brain and limbic system especially. - "Hard core",/"nothing is off the table", - F****T crudely and unelegantly cencored in the same dialogue in which C***T is not. Pussyfooting it in the middle. Hardcore racists strangely lacking in racial slurrs. - Claims of character depth, yet often clichê/single minded. - Dialogue often reads like bad poetry/trying to be clever.

Very good, but quirky

Starting this game up, picking out a character type and going through the first 15 minutes of game play was one of the most memorable gaming experiences I've ever had, and I spent my youth playing games like MDK, Police Quest and Freelancer to give you an idea of the timescale here. This is beyond question one of the most intriguing collections of wit, refinement and vision that I've ever seen produced in any format. All that being true, I set the game aside some time ago. I will likely pick it up again, but I'll lay out what made me step away since this is a review and not an award presentation. I read fast, very fast, so lengthy dialog does not bother me. What bothers me is lengthy and too cryptic dialog, or dialog that doesn't seem to have anything to do with advancing the story or the character, i.e. musings on fictional politics, morality or other literary type themes. It was after a very, very, very long stint (~1 hour) of trying to get through a single conversation so I could save the game and do some housework that I was turned off of wanting to start the game up again, and I remain in the off position. You may think, well just leave the conversation and save. This game has ways of dealing with that attitude, you see. This all being said, the dialog is well written - but when your main interest is the story, setting and characters you don't always want to detour into.... other things, however witty they are. Kudos, though, to the developer for touching on profound subjects - the polar opposite of the trend it seems. That's it, my main gripe. Everything else is patch-out work, and also I'm sure I'll play it through at some point... especially since it managed to kill my first character so fast there was no auto-save to load ; a hilarious first for me

I never laughed so hard in my life

Play it like a superstar cop, take drugs, drink, say wild things, proposition old women in wheelchairs, suggest you wiped your own memory in order to solve the case. I never laughed so hard in my life, this game is wild.

Long story short

AAANNNDDD.... It's a 4/5. Why? Well, the writing and artwork are brilliant, but in the end, your choices didn't really matter. So yes, my recommendation: play an INTERESTING character! You will have to read a lot, so make it enjoyable for yourself by choosing what works for you.

I gazed into the abyss and it was chatty

35 hours - that was the lenght opf my first playthrough. I did it in 3 or 4 days and sat in silence as the credits rolled. From a mechanical standopint the game is prety good and I found few niggles that spoiled an otherwise perfectly good expierience. They will not affect the score as I cannot seem to remember them, prving they weren't much of a big deal. The completionist in me suffered a bit since some options that are no longer available linger in one part of the menu which is a bit of an annoyance. The mechanic of red and white checks seems like a good idea since if you really need to you can just save-spam something. On the other hand if you don't you can get stuck with no way to proceed at one or two points in the game. As a person who saves diligently and on multiple saves this was not an issue but otherwise... not sure. There is no combat mechanic to speek of. Just checks and your decisions and the game gives you just enough to slip foward and different skill compositions give you alternate options of both means of proceeding with the plot and flavour text. It's a bit of a trip this one. You feel as if you're grasping bit's of a greater whole as you are suspended in a hole of unknown. The feeling is reminiscent of the wah I felt when I played Planescape: Torment but more intense. You feel more detached from the world while suffering from it's limitations. The atmosphere is thick and depressing at many points. Desolation and broken dreams litter the ground wherever you go. If you are into that kind of stuff (as I am) this game is a gold mine. The game might not be perfect but it's damn close and If you are into narrative driven games this one is a must.
