Couldn't even play the game, there was some other guy already playing, smh

Very very well written, as you probably know if you've heard anything about this game. It's difficult to keep a mystery story moving in video game format, where the player controls the pacing and lines of inquiry, but the game is crafted such that you can stumble through one of a dozen logical, interesting, flavorful paths between any given plot points, allowing for a variety of roleplaying options without losing the thread of a good whodunnit. The plot is twisty and turny, philosophical and political, and the game is always evocative of a wider world. I kept expecting that we'd leave Martinaise, transition back to the precinct and see other parts of Revachol, and I was left wanting more from the characters and setting. The game's strong political themes and well-crafted sense of impending doom also made me expect a more sweeping narrative than just the resolution of the case, but that vague sense of anticlimax actually dovetailed well with the story's themes. It felt like a natural sequel hook for a game that really deserves one, but given that that's not likely to happen, the story of this story-focused RPG does feel a little incomplete. As always, feeling like you want more shows that the creators did something right.

A great puzzle game. Figuring out the language puzzles is intuitive and engaging. Good atmosphere and evocative level designs. There's a certain risk of missing important clues because of the open ended structure, and some areas are unnecessarily mazelike, but it's definitely worth a play.
