“It's a technique they've been using very well that promotes personal creativity, replayability, and connecting the reader with the story in a way that can change from playthrough to playthrough.”
“This story includes body dysmorphia, heavier politics, and the full scope of tension between powered individuals.”
“The characters and the story were just brilliant.”
“I did everything in my power to not make a certain choice, but was forced to make a choice anyway because of the author's clear ideologies making their way into the story and constantly trying to force their political agenda on my character.”
