Know what you are getting in to
This is a great game, really different than anything else. What might be a little bit confusing is that it is a narrative game at its hearth. I would describe it as visual novel (rally, really well written one with great graphic, deep setting and multifaced characters) disguised as cRPG. You have all RPG elements (stats, checks, choices and so on) but no combat to speak of (in its place „encounters” are dialogue, observations, various inner monologues all are well written). The game has that good novel quality when it is really hard to stop „reading” and You find Yourself not being able to stop playing because You need to meet next character or resolve inner conflict. Stats are secondary (You can Min/Max if You want to, but that misses the point). Instead think of them as preconfiguring the novel that You are about to read. Your stats will change dialogues, scenes and so on, but no matter what that will still be a great read, so do not worry about those stats. I know that I was paralyzed at the beginning because game has 24 stats and all of them are different than in any other game, and on top pf that they are vaguely described. At first, I thought that Devs put they „artistic visions” in front of player centric design but now I think that it was done on purpose so that You concentrate on experiencing the narrative instead on „character building” (meaning concentrating in stats and mechanics). So, Yea, this i s mostly visual novel that You largely configure by Your stat choices (it will be fascinating no matter what) with dash of adventure game and cRPG elements as a tool rather than essence. The narrative can be „on the nose” sometimes. It creates that weird dissonance when simplistic choices and world views are „hidden” behind great, dense, and heavy prose. Hence 4 stars
