Honestly this game is more relatable to me now than anything else coming out today. Truly a flawed masterpiece and cult classic in line with Deus Ex and System Shock. I for one just enjoy the idiosycratic characters and crazy scenarios the most. It's short but values player agency and really is a different game if played differently. Combat isn't anything to right home about but I do enjoy all the weird powers you get.
This is a kinetic visual novel, there aren't really much in the way of choices, they esentially don't exist. Despite that though this is one of the most emotional and meaningful works of art I've ever experienced and has changed the way I think about people outside of it. It's dark, gritty, filled with some of the worst feelings one can feel and some of the best. I know I'm being vague, but that's because I don't want to spoil even the smallest crumb of this game. Go in blind; it's a slow start, but you won't regret it.
This game is one of the best games I have ever played, no exaggeration. The story is amazing, starting you out in this strange alien world, and as you go on, you see the themes in this awe inspiring story. The story is not just a series of events but holds much, much deeper meaning, it's a story that will leave you thinking. The game holds an enigmatic and foreboding tone that is accented by beautiful, literally "handcrafted" graphics and an immersive sound track. The gameplay may not be for those who do not like puzzles, but can be extremely satisfying. The Swapper is an sensational game that will get you thinking. BTW if you loved the Ender's game series I'm almost sure you'll love this game.
