Pretty Good Visual Novel
The game has four endings, but they only vary slightly, and a bunch of different dialogue options with no long term impact on the story. It is primarily linear, but I still enjoyed my time with the game. Turing is charming, the art and music is good, the writing is funny and while point and click style puzzles were rare (and, often, a little convoluted), they were never the irritating, arbitrary adventure game puzzles everybody dreads. The story is largely your standard cyberpunk fare, but I enjoyed how inclusive and diverse the game was! That this is, thematically and symbolically at least, worked into the story without usually being too obtuse was great. It's not without it's flaws. More non-linearity, more interesting puzzles and a stronger first act would all improve the game quite a bit. I'm not sure I'd be satisfied paying full price for the game, and I also had some minor freezes when playing the game. It seems to be not quite what some people were anticipating going into it either. But if you want a chill, sweet and entertaining visual novel that'll make you laugh every so often, it's worth picking up on sale.
