Where to even begin, this game piqued my interest solely because of its art direction but, since I started playing it, its made me question everything. Playing as the amnesiac detective who has forgotten everything including his name ravaged by years of alcoholism and a penchant for disco. This allows you to be any kind of cop you want him to be through these internal monologues with different 'faculties' of your mind. You can use skill points to allow one of more of these faculties to be dominant based on which you have different dialogue options/ actions which allow you to take different approaches to the story and the game as a whole.
In addition to this, you can acquire abstract thoughts which you can develop to completion to further influence your own persona.

The soundtrack, the writing, the dialogue is straight out of a deeply intellectual art-house movie, but this alone does not do this game justice, it has a lot of surprises and some really dark comedy (depending on your choices). This game is the epitome of the RPG genre. If you are not put off by walls of text or don't hate reading, I would highly recommend picking this up.
