The game is not totally bad but is a casual game that is normally played on mobile phones. Not worth spending time on it. Feels like FTL on the sea with better graphics and very simple mechanics (FTL is way more fun, though) I got it because GOG recommendation engine suggested and I'm pretty disappointed. Not much more to say about it.
Most of the reviews here are on the mark. The game could have been awesome but felt short in some important mechanics. Some good things about the game: - The environment is relatively well done; - Story seems good. Not very original but can be a motivator to keep playing; - The character interaction is interesting, especially find ways to unveil their background; - Amoral gameplay; interesting outcomes depending on how you play. Things that fell short expectations: - Savegames are saved automatically, which means that when making a mistake you have to either manually backup the save game (by that I mean copying the savegame manually to another file) or start it again. This for me is a MAJOR dealbreaker. Not by itself but because of the way the hint/miss dialogue element was implemented. - The comparison with LA Noire in some comments is spot-on: the dialogues to discover or miss a hint are not logical or rational; sometimes you think that selecting a certain answer will send you thorough one direction but what the character says is completely different. Random hit/misses with a automatic savegame system? Horrible combination. - Combat is meh. Very simple and the skills are not very cool. If the other parts of the game were great, this could have been overlooked (in my opinion). - Treating diseases is cheap and mostly doesn't really affect the NPCs responses. Combination between characters and environment feels shallow. Gets repetitive very soon. I will not continue playing the game because I just lost 7 hours of gameplay half an hour ago because of a lost hint that didn't really make sense (and I forgot to backup the savegame). For those thinking in getting it, the game could be interesting for the first 5 to 10 hours but do not expect much after that. Also, comparing to the available titles in the market, this game should cost $15 maximum.
