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.

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.
Fantastic, cannot wait to replay it! Brilliant atmosphere, engaging story and stunning visuals!
Has some of the best writing in all of gaming to me with a beautiful art style to match. The skill tree if you want to call it that is a bit much at first to handle and does a poor job at explaining it but you will eventually figure it out don't worry.
