The writers of this game genuinely got together, threw every sci-fi trope known to man at a wall, and then used them to construct an intricately knotted story that consists entirely of plot twists. If someone had described it to me in such a way before I’d played it, I would’ve told them with utter conviction that I’d hate it; and so it is with the utmost awe in my voice that I say: it worked. The end result is actually good. Better than it has any right to be. They even had the gall to fracture this thing into thirteen parallel threads with the progression of each mostly left to the player’s discretion, and they managed to make it (almost) perfectly coherent. Wow

Oh and the gameplay is fine too
