    Overall, The Familiar Stranger is a game without rhyme or reason, cobbled together, confusing in what little there is to do, and I wouldn't recommend it at all, even if the bugs were fixed. With a world like that of The Mandela Catalogue, whether you like the series or not, something undoubtedly more captivating could have been created.
