"The story's themes and choices are powerful, it has a great gameplay loop, and its gameplay and story are held together so tightly... I was hoping for an interesting experience when I chose it. I was not expecting the most memorable game I've played this year."

"This game is trying to do too much, and somehow it's nevertheless succeeding at all of it."

"With its slick graphical interfaces, soundtrack, multimedia effects and compelling sci-fi story, playing

feels like playing a commercial-quality offering... This is unabashedly a game, rooted in exploration of a mystery but also requiring juggling certain resource management demands... Though it takes some time to come into its own, the story does not disappoint."
