    One of the best games I played in a while. Its been years since i was able to play anything for more than an hour in one sitting, but I was so involved in the story I just couldn't stop until I completed it. Although linear - replay value is decent due to multiple option choices and attribute checks. 10/10 would recommend. Hopefully there will be more content in the future or similar game.

    A simply amazing game! it takes a little while to get into, but the writing is simply amazing, and while the gameplay is mundane the high stakes keep it interesting.

    Never in the history of gaming should a player fail something 12 times in a row with 75% success rate. The mechanics in this game SUCK.
