What it is

What players liked

Players praise its incredible, relevant story about the dark side of humanity, despite simple and linear gameplay.

The catch

The plot is told so incoherently that many finish it still not knowing what happened.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 89% positive, but with 1,147 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
