I played this for the first time around a year ago during the final days of a period where I was intensely overworked for weeks straight. I had entered into some kind of sleep deprived rhythm, every day doing the exact same thing. One night I had a couple of hours of free time, saw Hotline Miami on sale for 99 cents, and four hours later I was a different person. There aren't even words that would explain how playing this felt after looking at spreadsheets for so long

cants say i enjoyed the non humanoid bosses but other than that holy shit so gooood

Well actually i was gonna give this a 2 stars initially but then I started watching Twin Peaks and realized that this is just a 100x terrible version of it and now I hate it

i liked how the stupid fbi agent calls him by random writers he knows every single time... and well.. its an okay game... the concept itself is extremely interesting.... the literal battle between light and dark, navigating through fiction in a more than meta level... except that the gameplay felt like a chore and the story was boring. Which is a shame, because as I said, this could've been SO much. Will play the sequel some day.
