The game got a lot of hate online, but I've generally found when a game is hated on, there's usually something more. So I decided to actually play the game. I'm 5 hours in

Honestly I like it, for telltale like walking simulator, it sets up the story pretty well, it has some nice sci-fi beats. It's good for what it is. It isn't anything it promises not to be. I think it's a good game, I'd recommend waiting until it goes on sale for $10 maybe. At that price point it's about the cost of a movie and That's where I put it in terms of value pricing.

mall story beats

Just finished the mall scene, I love the fact that the teleconferencing failed and the back and forth with the proxy. That was that was good situational comedy.

Somebody's been on a lot of zoom calls

I was screaming at the programmer, wanting to use a network computer to look at the super secret thing. This guy supposed to be a hacker and a programmer and he's willing to do something so dumb. And then of course it blows up on them. And of course you have to do the dumb thing, there's no way to avoid it. Kind of a forced beat, but that's the nature of illustrated novels, I just wish they didn't ask me to hit the button to make them do the thing I know is going to be really dumb
