ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I HAVE PLAYED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!

A story that changes with each playthrough and even has different dialogues and nuances even with the evil secret ending. Oh the things we do for love.

A multi-faceted game with exceptionally deep customisation that blends Frostpunk (not Frostpunk 2) and This War of Mine without sacrificing quality, story, or gameplay elements. I genuinely can't say this enough, try the game you will not be disapointed.

The combat is simplistic yet enthralling as each enemy type is also very different but has similarities, not what I expected but interesting that you can instil fear from different types of gelatinous blobs.

You might wonder why this game has a rating of 11/10 yet there are negative reviews? It is because 11bit used an LLM to help it create subtitles and translations. Thats it. Those translations often make no sense and are ridiculously silly since when making a decision with an Alter the tone is not accurately conveyed and you may choose something negative you didn't want to.

Everything else down to writing, crafting, twists, turns, and voice acting was an absolutely masterpiece. You should really give Alex Jordan a thank you. Thank you Jan.

Should you play this game? ABSOLUTELY! I have never played a game that has an idea so unique with an execution so fantastic you will be on the edge of your seat for every single hour, even to the point you forget to eat.

A genuine masterpiece of a game with care, thought, and dedication. Should you play it? ABSOLUTELY

Overall phenomenal gameplay with a very deep system of reporting crimes and trying to remember everything a suspect did during a police chase. However, the AI is absolutely awful and it is only friendly police AI specifically. Suspects flee from police, use sneaky moves, jump in dumpsters and do everything they can to get away while on the other hand your partner is absolutely worthless.

For example: you have two suspects and one chooses to fight and the other runs away, if you fight the one infront of you the other one gets away, if you give chase the one fighting gets away because your partner doesn't arrest them. One simple fix such as callouts for your partner such as "Give Chase, Hold Position, Search the Area, Etc" will result in the A.I going from 4/10 to 8/10. This is because it is not bad, it is detrimental to your own gameplay and often screws you over.

Main Story
A near perfect main story that presents you with an ultimatum at the end of the game, which I personally pondered for 5 minutes. The choice of choosing to destroy your fathers legacy by exposing him and his best friends corruption was not what I expected, I'll even admit the voice actor did so well I was fooled that in no way could he be corrupt. The explanation of the story ties into the armoury in game and how we had military rifles, AK's, and even a Skorpion since as I was playing my friends kept asking "How in the world does a police force have these weapons?"

All in all you killed it, a very pleasant story that intertwined well crafted gameplay.

Theatrical Killer
The writing for this side storyline was a masterpiece, every single time I got the call from the detect I wanted more! Every single kill was interesting, believable, and gruesomely entertaining.

I wish we played a more active role rather in connecting the crimes to who the victims were. Choosing a lawyer to be the killer was a neat touch as well.

Street Racing Gang
Finding out at the end the intentions of the racing gang was to keep kids out of the gangs and keep them productive was super interesting, it is a shame you didn't have to meet them in a mechanics warehouse leaving you to start making assumptions prior to the final mission saying "Oh hey we actually help the kids and don't do any form of crime" would have been a great touch.

Artifact Recovery
The only story is the beginning and the end with nothing inbetween, I will say the transition from curator into silly looney-bin fellow was comically amusing. Hence the high score for a simple achievement, which ties in well to why this game deserves such a high review. Every single thing, even down to achievement hunting had time, care, and a lot of effort thrown in!

Should you play this game? ABSOLUTELY! Yes the gameplay is short, but the quality and nuance of building an immersive world justifies the price.

I can't wait for you to make a DLC! and fix the A.I
