Barely a CRPG. Somewhat competent Point & Click.

The RPG mechanics are exceedingly shallow. It's an unfortunate trend that this game, along with Gamedec both took on the concept of Disco Elysium's gameplay, but failed to extrapolate on the RPG depth of the systems. There is a core story that is interesting, but the narrative, albeit verbose, fails to construe anything bar nihilistic characters and a general sense of either extreme cheerfulness or utter depression.

Your protagonist's dialogues are inconsistent towards their reactions to other NPCs and the bouncing around between acts feels both pointless and confusing. I can't recommend this game, even for Point & Click fans. The RPG systems aren't there at all and the point & click aspects are menial.

I hope the developers grow from this, and I sincerely think there are real chops here and there, but the lack of depth and the inconsistencies in character's personalities make this house of cards fall apart.
