This is probably one of the greatest games ever created, and no game will ever be able to replicate its experience. It was in the right place at the right time. Graphics advanced enough to look pretty good, but not so advanced that it would make it impossible to create the multiple (like, 30+) paths possible in the game. A Blade Runner-like aesthetic that meshed perfectly with the time it was released. A bomb as hell soundtrack. Dialogue trees. Dialogue trees. It was just so incredibly ambitious for its time, even with all of its frustrations. It's by no means the perfect game, but it's damn important, and its influence on everything that came out after it is impossible to measure. kleinbl00 have you played this?
