The pixel art in this narrative point-and-click adventure game is some of the best and most intricate I've ever seen. This game understands and parodies internet culture and the alt-right in a way I've never seen in a game before. The story, which starts off very personal, then focuses more on cyberpunk themes and then drifts into the metaphysical, really won me over. Dialogue was wonderfully written, the humor was on point but when the game wanted to be serious, I could take it seriously - a fine line that not every game manages to walk. And the atmosphere of dirty, run-down cyberpunk New Orleans was superbly realized. Heavy themes such as racism and the consequences of colonization also find their place here and are handled with the necessary sensitivity....really great game
