I want to enjoy it, but I really cannot bear to play for more than five minutes. I don't know why, but I want to love the game. People said the deaths were funny or occurred in interesting ways and while it is true for some, a lot of them felt anti climatic and just another feather in the cap of tedium that I felt playing the game. My final gripe is also how easily death can occur via dialogue, and the fact you're left with two choices - start the game again and replay all the dialogue you've seen, or reload a save, feel cheap for doing so and listen to the dialogue you experienced in the lead up to your death. That in itself could be a convincing mechanic, except it often is so boring a check on not going to waste time levelling up that skill to try and possibly fail again. The gameplay itself is also a bit lacking both on terms of direction on how to solve the case and the loose threads you pick up, all tied together by dice roll skill checks, that if you fail can only be retried with a level up of the relevant skill. It makes any sense of a conversation drag as it feels unconvincing that any normal person would talk about these subjects. For me the dialogue is overly pretentious for my mind. Instead I get a lecture on Marxism and cryptids. I'd find myself speeding through dialogue to get any key information while wanting to move on as I lost interest five paragraphs ago. Except here the bread and butter is a five course meal of extremely over buttered, heavily salted and garnished bread. My problems are with the dialogue, which is unfortunate as that's the games main bread and butter. I got to day two after a bit of a slog of gameplay, only to find it has up to ten days of content and that is dauntingly boring.
