The game's story is praised for its richness and unexpected twists, allowing players to influence the narrative direction significantly. However, some reviewers noted issues with tone and characterization, pointing out jarring story beats and a lack of clear motivation for the protagonist's goals. Overall, it is considered an engaging choose-your-own-adventure experience with strong world-building, humor, and thematic depth, despite some narrative inconsistencies.
“Wow, I greatly enjoyed this game: its story is rich, and I didn't see some of the twists coming.”
“You can just say 'f*ck it all,' and the story will take a different direction—not just 'oh no, you failed, you have to start again.'”
“Those quibbles aside, it's a really good story and an enjoyable read, and I have to give credit for the awareness in the writing that the main plot of this story doesn't make sense, while also giving the player the ability to reject the goals of the cops who serve a dystopian system at every turn.”
“I do have a few issues with this story, mostly having to do with tone and some story beats that were jarring to me.”
“I wish I could say that my issue here is just because I missed some important exposition, but no, the cops really are just bastards working for a fascist government and the primary antagonist of the story is someone who, in every single one of your interactions, is polite and respectful and willing to live and let live.”
“The writing is casual at best as a whole, with weird changes in characterization that will give you whiplash just so certain plot points can happen.”
