This game has been on my list for years, and I finally gave it a shot. It was an amazing game with a good ending. I recommend it!

This game is an absolute gem. It has a detailed and gripping story which is intelligently written. In addition the game designers have managed to capture atmosphere and a detailed world to investigate. It's a game I have played on multiple platforms and one I shall keep returning to when looking for immersive story telling.
