The cityThis was one of the most unique games I've ever played. It took me a few hours to get into it, but then I was (almost oddly) hooked. The city and characters are all pretty strange with bizarre back-stories. I think it is the uniqueness and oddity of the whole thing that draws you in. The depth of the writing, e.g. available dialogue and newspaper stories, is impressive. I only played through once (and got one (unhappy) ending), but my impression is that there is purposefully not enough time in the game to talk to everyone or do even close to everything.

I don't think I can justify the time it would take to 100% this game, but I don't regret my one play-through, either.… Expand
