A CRPG in which, waking up in a hotel room a total amnesiac with highly opinionated voices in his head, a middle-aged detective on a murder case inadvertently ends up playing a part in the political dispute between a local labour union and a larger international body, all while struggling to piece together his past, diagnose the nature of the reality around him and come to terms with said reality.

A phenomenal piece of work. Absolutely one of the best gaming experiences. The only game I've ever wanted to 100%. Fantastic stuff.
insert some joke about shivers altering my brain chemistry
Extremely captivating; strong writing; interesting story, characters, and world building. Really immersive experience, I went with an intelligent build. One gripe is some small pacing issues early on, basically being locked out of doing a task to drive the main plot until the third day, so I just had to wait around and read books basically. As well, it just felt bad sometimes failing a check required to advance the main story. I think they should have allowed them to be retried after a time or upping your stat in any manner, not just directly with upgrade points. Overall will probably give this one a while before returning, but I do want to try a different build eventually.

jaw dropped when speaking with a friend after beating this game. I spoke about the most moving scene-- for me, when Harry takes a nap and has a dream about his wife near the end. my friend never experienced it. I had no idea it was optional.

God, please...
Phenomenal writing, touching on post-revolutionary socialism, the death drive, disability and disfigurement, liberal imperialism, among many others.
