A ridiculous game that may surprise you
I was hesitant about this game despite all of the good press surrounding it just because it looked somewhat bare and experimental and they're asking for a $40 price tag. Now after having played the game I can say that it is absolutely worth that $40 price tag and I 100% recommend this game. You may know the premise is that your character wakes up with complete amnesia but then is told you are a cop investigating a murder in a seedy city. The setting is somewhat fantastical with some supernatural elements and some sci-fi elements and a fictional convergence between various European cultures. The gameplay seems like a top-down cRPG but there is no combat per se, the interaction with the game world is limited to movement, dialogue, and interacting with the main characters skills and inventory. The game is driven forward almost entirely by its writing involing dialogue with other characters as well as dialogue within your character's mind as all of your skills and 'thoughts' can manifest as voices in your head that tell you what to do (which can be good or bad). The skill points you allocate can help you use these skills in various challenges while interacting with the gameworld but even if your points are low in something you can still attempt regardless. There is also the 'thought cabinet' which houses thoughts your character can have about themselves are the world that can affect skills or other aspects of gameplay. It works like a second inventory and can have some surprising effects depending on what you choose. I don't want to spoil much about the game but it can go in wildly different directions based on what you choose. The game world seemed small to me at first but there's an incredible amount of depth to it. I found it immersive and this has to be one of the only games I can think of that actually taught me something and got me thinking about how our thoughts and perceptions of ourselves can impact our sense of identity. This game really is a masterpiece.
