Excellent start to open-world mystery games. Extremely stylish, definitely a tone-piece, but a lot of the little collectables, like the many little conversations with Shinji and the drinks that show dialogs from the barflies on Perfect 25, help to deliver on the game's themes.

The themes of the game revolve around not being able to really grasp or fix evil systems from the inside, and the futility of the player's actions, no matter how successful they are at the objectives of the game. I can totally see that being off-putting, and I do think the ending falls a bit flat as a result of this.

I really hope this births a genre, as I think iterating on the ideas could help build a game that's as interesting but doesn't need to lean so hard on aesthetics to work.
