Another game I started playing before I got a job and just now I'm finishing. Wasn't impressed two months ago by the story about trying to surpass the machine's own contradicting protocols nor the attempt to explore the value of machines compared to that of humans (since it degraded pretty fast in typical social commentary for these kind of things) but I did like the atmosphere that reminded me of 90s cinematic platformers and also the writing of the facility's AI, trying to talk normally while falling into the pitfalls of preprogrammed speech patterns, makes for an interesting characterization even if there's no more to it.

The game ends on a plot twist cliffhanger which doesn't add anything to the more interesting themes it was exploring apart from confirming what the other characters were telling the main AI, and I'm not playing through the sequel since this didn't hook me and I finished it just for the respect of its atmosphere
