Perhaps the biggest surprise is how intense this episode is. The quality of voice acting and writing is impressive, especially for a download title. You’ll be amazed at how much you come to care for these characters. The gameplay might seem simplistic but split decisions can have profound consequences, the narrative changing and adapting according to your choices.
