Weird, and not necessarily in a good way.

In theory this game sounded great. Lots of dialogue, characters, a mystery to solve, and replayability. I'm in! However, the game looks, feels and acts unfinished. For a master edition, I still came across bugs, even one which required me to look into turning on the console commands for this game in order to continue with my save.

I don't care about graphics at all. But in a game like this, that already feels so unfinished, the way too simplified graphics don't really give the impression of a stylistic choice but rather just remind you even more of the game's state. If simplifying the first person graphics was a conscious choice then they certainly overdid it. While the cover art shows what they were possibly going for, it just doesn't translate well in-game.

It's a shame too because the game's mystery is cool to go through...until I got the impression that they really went out of their way to make it look as abstract and 'aristic' as possible, which sometimes is unfortunately code for 'this will most likely never make sense'. To give specifics would be to spoil things in an already quite short game.

You are supposed to go through the game multiple times, and despite being curious to see how the characters would react if I treated them differently on my second playthrough, the slow gameplay and unskippable dialogue and pauses made me give up quickly. It just wasn't worth it.

Combat. The game allows you to choose whether or not you want to fight, save for an unskippable 'boss' fight that pretty much forces any players that had chosen the 'charismatic protagonist' path to suddenly try to survive in a quite difficult encounter in the gamestyle they had been avoiding throughout the whole game. Fun -_-.

The end of the game definitely shows that this isn't the end, but unfortunately unless there are significant improvements over the original, I can't really recommend someone to pay for this instead of finding one of the many other better games with the same price tag.
