The beginning has a great hook of a murder mystery. The climate is drawing you in, the atmosphere is thick with conspiracy; you just know that there is something much deeper going on here, even the characters aren't telling you everything! You meet more characters, you start to get the hang of solving puzzles with cooperation, and pick up more threads of the plot. You start to "get" it! Unfortunately this is the highest point of the ride, the game peaks just halfway through and then goes downhill really fast. I cared for the characters, the conspiracy and the mystery; got served the the blandest, most pretentious "meta" ending imaginable and left with a bad taste in my mouth.
