Is it good?

I haven't played it yet but the consensus seems to be that it's decent, although a little short (only 12 hours). The biggest complaint I'm seeing is that the final arc of the story is a bit anticlimactic but the characters and setting are interesting. It's on sale for $16 (normally $20) on the PlayStation store, so I might pick it up.

It's actually on sale on Steam right now too for $7.19. Reviews are mixed but it definitely looks interesting. I may pick it up and add it to my massive backlog.

I've played for maybe an hour or so, so just beginning, but so far it's great. I'm still learning a lot and there is a lot of exploration and figuring things out (very similar to Disco Elysium). My character is dumb as a box of rocks, but very wise. It's interesting to see the dialogue based on my making or failing the various checks. If you like D&D and are familiar with 5E then a lot of the gameplay is second-hand.

I picked up a companion, but it's getting late and I'm not quite sure where I'm going to bed down. I'll probably look for my boss (Darren?). I had some interesting interactions with a lot of folk. The game definitely has a lot of detail in the story and dialogue options.
