drealmer7: How long would you say the game is?
The game was fairly long but never really dragged on. I think I saw somewhere an absurd number (maybe even on the game page here?) of something like 60+ hours? It's NOT that - but it's long. I think I played it for a month plus running, and it's certainly longer than a 20 hour game, maybe even hitting that 30 - 40 hour? Wish I could remember more - I'll edit this and check my save game - maybe it records playtime.
OneFiercePuppy: Is there actually any sort of story or character development or worldbuilding?
There's certainly a story and it's well delivered (check out my posts to Drealmr for a bit of detail). And there is "worldbuilding" in the sense that you're constantly hearing about these distant figures, events and even past histories. Initially they may seem like fluff, but as you move through the game they become more and more immediate, both to the plot and your characters own story.
Your character IS a bit "static" - but you get a nice payoff at the end. There are some choices you make in the game that alter later interactions, but you're largely left to "feel" different about your character on your own, based on your choices. The game leans heavily on textual feedback rather than cutscenes.
The "final path" your character walks even has a neat mechanism to trigger. You're presented with in game actions that you must seek out and alter in order to "lock" the story into a certain finale. I always meant to go back to an earlier save and try out a few more but didn't. Maybe after this.
Oh, by the way...
I'll be closing this one down in a few hours! So get in while you can!
