There's only a handful of places where you can go from a mild-mannered, androgyne spirit floating free, to a blooded-in "terrorist" entangled in everyone's lives - such things have occurred to real people, across history, and now it can happen to your character, right here on The Eye - the theme here is to teach you that life is hell, hell is other people, other people's lives are also you living *your* life, and you're all connected, so enjoy it, and help people.

I won't spoil the premise for you, but this feels like a love letter to people who have had the most insane lives in the last... nine or ten years.

This game's so very very good for such a simple premise. You go places, you decide to do things, you either gain or lose things material or immaterial, because you made that decision.

This is not necessarily a player-as-an-object oriented game, this essentially is something of a menu-based CYOA lifesim. I guess in a way you could sort of call it an imsim because it is simulating something that I find myself immersed in but this is a semantic argument of course.

This game does a really job of painting a picture with it's writing. The combination of the menus, the sounds, the music, the artwork, and the text does an incredible job. You see, the meta is to have an imagination lol, so if you're good at that, then you'll do great here.

If you liked Disco Elysium, I'm certain you'll enjoy this. In a sense it's less object-oriented, but gives a much much wider scope of the entire situation. It's not as "zoomed-in", if you will.

Something incredibly interesting about this; but every time you wake up to start a new day (called a cycle because you're on a space station), the game rolls a bunch of dice for you. If you're in good condition, you'll wind up with 6 die, ranging from 1-6. Then, those dice basically become your currency for doing things and either having a great time, a normal/neutral time, or a bad time. this factors into things like, whether you're good at your job, whether you get tips, whether you get your ass kicked, among other things - it's a universal currency for doing stuff.

You gotta take meds, and if you don't, then you get less dice. Likewise you have to eat or absorb sunlight with certain skills, to fill your energy, and without energy you basically can't do certain things and you also get less dice rolls at the beginning of a cycle. You are incentivized to actually kind of manage your life and not be a complete trainwreck of an emulated human.

This game is written from a well-rounded viewpoint. You can feel it in the way the characters are written, the world is written, the way conflict is written - it's believable, it's incredibly memorable. Such is the future and I love it - the artwork, the way the characters are written, the lovely selection of different personalities - This game is definitely my happy place, when I'm doing my normalcy in my daily life, where I'm usually out and about all night, alone - this is really good company.

Can't wait to finish this one and immediately grab the sequel.
