This game was for some time in my watch list, but I have never pulled the plug, and oh boy, was I in for a treat.

The game is very interesting depicting a dystopian future, where we are all headed, with an even bigger divide between rich and poor. A future completely driven by technological innovation for better or worse. The story gives you interesting perspectives from both the fortunate and less fortunate people and gives you an idea about their emotional struggles, thoughts, etc.

The game is story driven and it is not competitive or fast paced. It is for those of you who enjoy the good story and to see the consequences of their actions or words. I really recommend it and I dread the day, I will reach the end the same way I dread the day I finish an extremely captivating book, as it will leave a small void in my soul.

For a game that would easily fit in the "interactive movie" category, I was blown away by the sheer number of choices and agency you had. The moment you finish a level and it shows the branching path thing it's like "holy shit, I missed a ton!"

If you like this then you should also enjoy Heavy Rain.

Obligatory Heavy Rain comment... "Shaun!"

I prefer the world-famous song “Press X to Jason”

Since it’s about the first 5-10 minutes of the game, it’s not a big spoiler.

Stupid Jason.

That’s aite but doesn’t hold a candle to the hilarity that is SHAAAUUUUUUN

[-] Swarfega@lemm.ee 1 points 4 weeks ago

Indeed.

I suggest anyone intending to play the game doesn't search on YouTube for this as it contains major spoilers.

Yes, it really reminds me of the Black mirror.
