The best thing about Silicon Dreams is its interrogations, which is a good thing, because there's not much else to the game. A concern I had going into the game was that "interrogating" subjects would amount to nothing more than just exhausting dialogue trees. This is decidedly NOT what the game is actually like. In Silicon Dreams, it doesn't just matter what you say, but also when you say it. Responses to certain questions can change based off of the level of trust the subject has in you, their emotional state, and the order in which you ask the questions. Each question feels like a resource which you have to carefully choose how to spend in order to get the results you want.

Results-wise, Silicon Dreams judges your actions very little, but your company is watching. Over the course of the interrogation you will come to know your subjects pretty well, they are well written and interesting characters. But your company has expectations of what you should do with them that doesn't always match with what you will do, balancing doing the right thing and doing the thingy you're being pushed into doing is thrilling and challenging.

Silicon Dreams is an extremely well written and engaging experience. The only issue I see is that the game is quite text heavy, if you aren't willing to do any reading, this game is not for you. I highly recommend it to anyone else
