I didn't have fun with this game, I wasn't determined.

Is there a lore reason why you are looking at reviews for this game? Are you stupid?

CONSIDERATIONS
- This isn't a RPG with traditional video game-ass elements. Someone can say something sideways at you and you'll tip over. You can kick a trashcan and "die". Save and save often.
- Something is going on with ZA/UM, a lot of controversy with the devs. You should think about this before you buy. Or don't.
- Lot of words with multiple syllables here, man. I had Dictionary.com open on the overlay the whole time (English is my third language).
- There are dice in this. You should know that, I didn't know that. Pen-and-paper RPG type thing going on here.
- Not much in the way of gameplay. 100% of the focus is on dialogue, going back and to suspects, persons of interest and other outlined objects in the world.
- When people talk about video games as an art form, this game can be cited.

PROS
- Deep world-building here, some of the most detailed lore I've seen in a video game.
- Every character feels real. They make a great job of not seeming like they're just there to give you information/side-quests. I grew to actually care about some characters
and other characters, I wanted to hug their necks with my hands.
- Kim Kitsuragi.
- Censorship. You'll be fine.
- I'm a fan of the voice acting. I zone out a lot when I'm reading so the voices make the characters unique and "real". I also LOVE the voices in your head.
- There are a lot of prime opportunities for funnies. I strongly suggest you take them. Whether you like slapstick, dark, self-deprecating, there's something here for you.
- The story itself....ooh boy what a story.
- A sense of progression (like in an RPG) is there.
- Player choice. After sometime, you can tank insults and make positive self-affirmations or you can forever live on the edge, one comment away from game over.

CONS
- Hyped to the moon by everyone I've heard talk about it. It probably won't meet your expectations.
- Sometimes, the side-quests illogically bottleneck your progress. Side-quests that don't seem like they have anything to do with the main are necessary to progress it. (Or maybe I was just playing it wrong)
- Kim Kitsuragi can't be romanced. This may be a deal breaker for some.
- Censorship. Can be immersion breaking but there are workarounds.


I recommend this game. By most standards, it's a good game.
