The perfect counterexample to everything wrong with the industry. A game that's so damn good you basically have a moral imperative to buy it.

This game is wonderful. Know what you're getting into: a story-focused game with great writing and voice acting, and an immersive atmosphere packed with lovely design details.

Yes, the gameplay is mostly walking around and exploring the environment as the story unfolds, but that's okay — adding in elements like puzzles, mini-games, etc. would just distract from the story.

People complain about the length, but it felt right to me; think of it like a good mini-series. It took me about 4.5 hours, about a third of which was spent poking around taking in the little details like the fake vintage book covers. It was worth every bit of $20 for me personally, but if you're just going to rush through it then I think you're missing the point.

Oh, and go into the settings before you start and turn off the position indicator on the map! I wish I had have known that earlier — it makes the game much more immersive.
