Oh this game is excellent! Since I already saw people comparing it to Orwell, I might as well, since it borrows some of the gameplay mechanics from it. Except it does it so much better and overall is a much better game. You actually control your choices here and although the story ends kinda the same regardless, you really have impact on the details (like, who dies and who doesn't). All the characters are likeable (unlike Orwell, lol) or at least understandable in their motivations. In fact, they're quite complex for this type of game, so you actually care about what's going on in the story and the investigations. The mechanics might seem a bit tedious but honestly they didn't bore me on the first playthrough. Of course, on the later ones they did, as I was just rushing through it for the achievements (where I encountered some bugs but as the game has just been released, I can forgive that and just wait until it's fixed to get them). The game is also really beautiful visually and has a great soundtrack.
Highly recommended for anyone who's into detective-type adventure games.
