This game is compared to Disco Elysium a lot, but I recommend forgetting that comparison before playing. This game feels much more linear in its storytelling than Disco Elysium ever did, though towards the end I did feel like some of my choices had tangible consequences.
The pacing feels a bit sluggish in the first half of the game. For the most part you are getting introduced to threads that becomes important to the main story in the end, but the threads didn't have much narrative pull to me until they started to connect to each other. Once I hit the midway point, it was much smoother and more intriguing.
Not a bad first effort from this studio and I'll check out what they put out next.
