I didn't intend to finish this in one sitting but as soon as I sat down I just found myself absolutely captivated by the story. The characters feel relatable, Their struggles feel real. The feeling of listening to them and not being able to really help them is tearing. As a budding self-loathing far-left software engineer I specifically relate to a lot of the struggle that the main character has. I think Zachtronics absolutely nailed it with the characters of Soren and Rainier, and the company Skandha, who are perfect avatars of what I hate about the tech landscape. Loved the subtle queer inclusion too. I think the only real criticism I have of this game is it's very linear, but that did not at all get in the way of it being a compelling narrative.
