The title track came up on Spotify and after pulling up the trailer for it, I had to play (it helped that I wasn't having a particularly good day and needed to check out for most of it).
It took a second to get the hang of making drinks (not sure if that's a game problem or a me problem... I'm inclined to think the latter) but I was engaged enough by the narrative and the ethical questions it poses that it felt worth the effort.
There's one particular revelation for one particular character that I initially had uncomfortable feelings about, but everything around that development - mainly that the character in question is by all accounts in a solid relationship with someone who actually loves them unreservedly - tipped the scales into positive territory for me. It helps that said character is a hot mess for reasons outside that particular aspect of their character. More of that, please.
