As good as advertised. The writing had the same tone and cleverness of a lot of the old Infocom games, and it was just pure joy to play. I loved that sometimes the best results came from failed skill checks and that there were numerous ways to progress the story.

My only gripes are that the game was clearly made for KB/M, and it made some of the interactions more awkward than they could have been. Also, load times, even on PS5, feel longer than they should be, and you can only fast travel to three places, and two of them are pretty much right next to each other.

All in all, though, this is a game that I'd recommend to anyone I like.
