Eliza has serious problems: 1. The game makes you feel annoyed & without agency by design to make a message. You can choose an ending, but there is literally no interaction until then. Just clicking through dialogue. 2. The "AI" is just a glorified chatbot. The therapy sessions are just the Bot being like "Its raining, huh?", "How does that make you feel" & "Do some breathing exercises & take some drugs". Incredibly annoying by design. And while modern AIs deserve a lot of criticism, these criticisms are completely different from this bland mess. 3. The overarching message is equally bland: corpo=bad because inhuman. This great revelation is screaming through every single scene & character. Its not wrong, but incredibly boring very quickly. The voice actors were great & the writers were really good at creating interesting characters feeling human. Its just a real shame the game is such a bland mess.
