    Yeah, it wasn’t for me either. I really tried to give it a shot, gone back to it a couple times but I really just don’t get it.

    Great art/style? Definitely. But the gameplay itself is SO boring.

    I’m trying to play a game here, and the game part is lacking. RNG+ text? No thanks, not much to keep me.

      It’s about the exploring the story, the mind of your character, and lots of political and philosophical themes. The deep psychological exploration of the human condition is absolutely unique and fascinating.

      Maybe you’re too young or otherwise not ready to engage with these themes.

        Definitely neither.

        I put down choose your own adventure stories a long time ago, and a digital one doesn’t hold me no matter how well it’s put together.

        Everyone is in here talking about reading… The Director’s Cut or whatever its called, has full voice narration of everything. And it’s really good.

        Yeah, I read a couple books a month. Not interested in playing one disguised as a video game. They serve different purposes.

        Reading goes at my pace which is way, way faster than a game. Story-based games are way too slow and not nearly rich enough to replace a book.

        Cool if people like it, obviously there’s something there that clicks with people. But I think it’s boring AF.
