I played through the whole game! I'm not sure how I feel about the satire, the tone bounces from absurdist comedy to serious commentary and back. But there's no denying that there is some fantastic writing here, and I laughed out loud a few times. The bizarre characters and unfolding lore about the world kept me glued to the screen and compelled me to stay till the end.
The highest compliment I can give is that it truly felt like a fun road trip; driving from venue to venue, making detours to talk to people, stopping for snacks and supplies, it was quite the experience. Each area felt different and distinct, and I never ended up getting lost.
I love the wicked art style and the soundtrack is the best I've heard (so far) in this jam. (That one song that plays in shops sounds like an 80s song! It reminds me of a Hall and Oats track!)
Sadly, the game lagged a lot, and it became aggravatingly slow towards the end. But that's just one blemish on an otherwise rocking game.
Ian did get weird at the end of the game and for some reason, pills didn't revert him back. Though I'm not sure if that was intentional or not.
