Interessanter grafischer Stil, gut geschrieben, surreal, hat mir wahnsinnig gut gefallen!
I loved the unusual grafic style, the witty and funny dialogs, the characters, the story, everything. The developers really created something different from the standard pulp. I had no expectations and was enjoying the wholesome and entertaining experience from start to finish. Btw. I didn't encounter any bugs in my play through. Very highly recommended!
The game is a text-heavy Roleplay-Game with many different choices. It swims in the wake of games like Planescape Torment or Disco Elysium. I don't get most of the (more) negative reviews, especially the one about te design of the level-ups The game does most of what it does quite brilliantly. The story is fascinating and I liked the twists and different choices I was presented with very much. The concept of having to switch your approach (someone called it Psychopath-Path) in order to gain different specialisations is unusual, but actually if embraced, it adds a nice little tactical element to the game. It's something different than standard XP and Levels (btw. you don't need any specialisation to finish the game properly). I know that people don't react to every encounter the same, there's usually an emotional and cognitive range. So I wasn't bothered by that and really, the different choices of responses regarding the "levelling-up" didn't matter that much in terms of the outcome. There were choices much more important than those Critisizing the game for doing something novel and not just implementing the standard RPG-mechanics, says more about not being open for something apart from the beaten path then about the quality of the game design. I loved the experience and kept on playing day after day, captivated of the story. 5/5 stars, would recommend to everyone who loves text-heavy games with tons of lore and a fresh setting.
