This BOOK is Okay.. Not Amazing.

Honestly I wrote my review but it will probably get me banned on this site or I will have bad reproductions because of what I think about the ending. Just search up the ending or do some research because I would have if I didn't know this detail.. Also this game is about bar tending. But the mechanics suck. It's hard pouring the drinks. Also that's just one out of 3 parts of the game. I would of thought by the name of this game that it would be more about bar stuff.. all it does is revolve around it.. This book would of been way better if it had voice acting. There's just so much to read and do that it felt like too much. I wanted to explore more options. But what people said would be a 3 hour experience turned into a 5 hour experience... It's an indi game so it makes sense for no voice acting. The backdrops are boring. The game has like 3 backdrops. It gets boring looking at the same stuff all the time. Also the characters don't do much movement. There's a part about a person beign tense or calm and it's just so lame. Its just 2 poses... Overall if this site let me put 2.5 stars I would give it that. I bought it because of the reviews. But it didn't pan out. I finished it in a couple of days reading it before I went to sleep. Looks like they spent all their money on the writing. If you like a decent book and I mean decent.. not amazing like people claim. I would recommend this book to anyone. This is a book! I wouldn't recommend it to people who don't like reading. Also don't trust the reviews that say 3-4 hours.. it all depends on the persons reading skill. It took me 5 hours. And I read pretty well. If you see those YouTube videos about the let's plays. Those guys read so fast! And is why I don't recommend reading it on YouTube.

Transhumanist Philosophy

I was pulled to the game by it's superficial similarities to (VA11-HALL-A). This game is steeped in the same cyberpunk aethestic, which it pulls off really well. The real meat of the game comes in it's underlying philosophies, which I won't spoil - because there are certain moments that *cue Carl Sagan exploding mind gif* . The gameplay keeps things fresh as well. It's a short game -and I certainly wish it had more but - I think it's explored it's themes well enough and kept things concise. Get it on sale, beat it in a sitting - and stare at the ceiling, wondering about your place in all of this.

The minigames ruined it

I really really wanted to like this game but the minigames are so tedious and BORING that I cannot convince myself to finish it even knowing I'm very close to the end...! It all feels like wasted time.

worth the buy

I really enjoyed this game. I picked it up because I love the style of devolver's games. This game was unlike any other Ive played in the past, and it is an experience I highly recommend. it was immersive, my choices mattered, and i was fully invested by the game's end. I wish it wasn't over.
