Incredible Writing and Role Play. 4.5/5

An RPG that lets you actually play your role the way you want to, and where it is fun to do so. The game doesn't really encourage you to tell everyone that the proletariat must start a revolution or that their house is cursed, but I did it because I wanted to play the role of a communist cop who believes in the supernatural. If you're looking for action, this is not the game for you. It consists almost entirely of text, which would be a bummer if the writing wasn't this good and often outright hilarious. The only 'actions' you can perform take place in dialogue - with other characters, with your clothes, with inanimate objects in the world, or with different parts of your persona. There game could have used more proofreading in some parts for minor typos and weird syntax. Some dialogue that the developers intend to happen early also makes very little sense if you only stumble upon it later in the game. But considering how much text is in the game these are rather minor nitpicks. The only real criticism I have are the abrupt ending and the overly complicated clothing system. Having to change attire before and after most skill checks isn't fun, breaks immersion and takes away from the roleplaying: If I want to walk around in a certain outfit, the game shouldn't punish me for it by making clothes such a major factor for skill checks. I am already looking forward to replaying this as an entirely different character once the Final Cut is released.

Don't let them confuse you.

Most of the 1 or 2 star reviews will tell you "you move SO SLOW" or "the devs are COMMUNISTS" or " you can't finish the game!" or "why is there so much propaganda?" These people didn't even try to play this game. First of all, double click-and-hold to run. It's easy, if just a bit tedious. Second of all, who cares what the devs' views are? Third of all, I've found but ONE potential softlock, and that requires you to suddenly decide to interact with an item you should find Day 1 in the final, I don't know, 2 hours of the game, for the first time? Otherwise, the game provides fail-safes for pretty much any skill build to be able to work, such that bad rolls pretty much cannot lock you out of finishing the game. Fourth of all, there's a lot of "propaganda" because the game takes place in a world ravaged by civil revolt, its opposition, and its consequences. Naturally, people are going to have opinions on this. Other than a relative few characters, most won't actually push politics on you unless you prod them with your OWN views first. And if you get closer to the end of the game, and really explore it, you'll find good reason for the player character and those around him to be invested as such. Now to address MY review: This game is great. Your exploration of the world is aided, or impeded, by your 24 different skills, each of whom is now a voiced character, which you can make more vocal and more effective based on how you build your character, a disaster of a human being, recovering from a world-ending deluge. You interact with many good, terrible, and complicated characters, nearly all of whom I find to be interesting and, often, compelling. Some of them will be off-putting, such as the foul-mouthed delinquent children, or the vocal racists. But using your Empathy and Logic stats, you'll understand at least some of them. My one criticism, really, is that the last act is pretty much locked down. Solving the crime is anticlimactic. But that's kinda the point.

Do your Research before buying!

1) Look at some online video reviews - don't jump in straight in, dip your toes in first. Its not a fast based game. 2) Its very text heavy but thankfully a lot of it is voiced but you need to read 3) Its a slow burner , it builds up with twists and turns 4) Its a new world similar to ours with so much background history - you will hear new terms etc 5) All the characters are very well written - do note it may seem very pretentious at some points but its designed this way, just go with it. 6) It can so funny and so dark - accept this. 7) If you don't like these points - it may not be for you.

Thought provoking and interesting

There’s no good way of summarizing how I felt playing this game. But if I had to try, I would call this game chilled, harsh, and poignant, at the same time. We start the game playing as a detective who had lost his memory, but “playing as a detective” is a very loose way of putting it as we ended up exploring this strange, sad, but yet, very interesting world; lost in what could be perceived by the inhabitants as madness, fuelled by alcohol and a history we don’t really know yet. The land of Revachol is full of people just trying to survive in the broken society they live in. Following you around is your partner from another precinct, Kim, who you slowly build a rapport with. And in this weird mishmash of ideology, beliefs and philosophy, you get to discover a little about yourself as you compare the various shades of grey. I read somewhere that dialogue is the core system of this game, and I tend to agree. The dialogue system is indeed the game's keystone and all other systems revolve around it. So, if you’re easily put off by something that is mostly dialogue and interaction, then you might be a little put off here; even though I’ll still heartily recommend this to you. The world and the characters are interesting, the person you’re playing is interesting, and the weird things you get to do are interesting. If I had to think of something I didn’t really like, I’d say the ending. I won’t spoil it here, but I think they might be having trouble tying everything up in a neat little bow near the end. But that doesn’t take away the journey there. A journey of self discovery, both for the hapless, amnesiac detective and for the player, if you would let it.

A Fantastic Isometric RPG

This game was everything I wanted out of a well written mystery RPG. It has a unique setting, a great plot, and wacky yet nuanced dialogue. I went out of my way to explore every nook and cranny of the game and was greatly rewarded. I really hope a sequel by the original developers is eventually released. If youre looking for a game similar to Divinity buy this! However, I will warn you, there is very little combat in this game and what combat there is, is narratively driven.
