Dec. 2024

RPG and adventure with a lot of secrets to uncover.... love it ! A game, you can and want to play more than once, as you always discover new things, if you are courageous enough to risk ways and traits for your Chars. I was a newbie to tarot and all.... and was very positively surprised, how easily the game teaches you how to lead your chars through their paths. Highly recommended!

Nov. 2024

Yes, as long as you know what you're getting into. This is not Disco Elysium. Almost nothing you do will have significant consequences. This is more like a visual novel and the story is pretty linear. The side quests are flexible and you can even skip them. The world building is excellent but once the novelty wears off, it becomes a drudgery to finish the game. It would have been nice if it was fully voiced, but there's a song in one of the chapters!

Sept. 2024

I really loved this game and it surprised me. When it first started and I saw the interface, the voices inside the head, the inebriated, down on his luck main character, I thought – ‘No! Please don’t try to remake Disco Elysium. Stop!’ But I kept going and although the gameplay mechanics are similar, the story is very different. You play 4 very different characters in a lovely steampunk world. The art work is beautiful! Quickly I found the familiar dialogue bar, points and rolls comfortable while embarking in a much different world with likeable characters with their own personalities, skills and motivations. I found it hard to stop and take breaks as I just wanted to keep playing and see where the story was going. The change of characters often left on mini cliffhangers which made me want to keep playing even more. Not giving away the story but there is mystery, murder, magic, and fantastical characters and tech. I had a great time playing and look forward to playing the sequel when it arrives. I had 19 hours in my first run and will leave the game in my queue so I can play again with different character setups. Game play and quality is well worth the price. Much recommended!

Shouldn't be compared to Disco Elysium much, because it just can never hold against it. Was the ending good? No. Was it an open world? No. Did I enjoy the story and characters? Yes. Did I like the roleplaying aspects? Yeah, somewhat. I wish they would do some QoL improvements. They are desperately needed, but overall I had my fun.

AAA writing and world building. Honestly, I cannot say enough nice things about both -- better than anything recently released not named Baldur's Gate 3. The three/four main characters you play as each have their own interesting stories and reasons for crossing paths -- this is not a single narrative where you have multiple party members, this is three different narratives of three different characters whose paths cross mainly at the end. The steampunk/fantasy elements and interesting/amusing NPC interactions create a fascinating, believable fictional London. If I could offer two points that I think would have improved the gameplay experience, they would be: 1. Dramatically increase the frequency of the comic panels. In the instances they are used, they help illustrate what is going on with the narrative in an art style that perfectly matches the theme, there just aren't enough of them. I'd go so far as to suggest that nearly all important interactions should utilize these panels. And unlike suggesting something outside of the budget available for an indie like this, I think this is actually doable. 2. Unlock the camera. I don't know that this is possible, but if it were, it would certainly add more to the enjoyment of the environments of the game. In any event, I'd love to see a sequel, especially if the sequel addresses my point #1.
