Surprisingly poignant. I always enjoy personality tests and remain surprised at how accurate they end up being (acknowledging that, yes, these things are usually fueled by confirmation bias) and this one is no different, even if wrapped in a gaming package. Curious to play through it several more times to find more things and see if it reinforces my own thoughts about my personality.

An okay mystery VN with multiple endings. Not sure if any of the endings are bugged, though discussions lead to me to believe the "best" ending is a bit fiddly. I got two endings and not sure if either one is the "best" version.
The price is fitting and it's worth at least one playthrough if you like experimental sci-fi narratives.

Saw a lot of reviews comparing this to Obra Dinn. While I can see where they were coming from, this is definitely much easier and simpler to figure out.
Not a huge knock against it, mind, as I love pure detective games like this. I do wish there had been a "hard mode" though.
Still recommended, but maybe play Obra Dinn afterwards if you haven't already so Golden Idol doesn't feel quite as simple.

Focusing solely on the gameplay (I do not play or care about MUT) I think this is one of the best Maddens in years. The animations feel much better, and the running game in particular shines because of this.
Is it perfect? HA, not even close. But it IS fun and the story mode is so incoherent that it's worth playing through multiple times to see how good your QB can be when they get benched their Senior year.
