I'm in day 3, sent Kim away... so still early-ish on I suppose.
But yeah despite me being so pulled in by the story and the beauty of the game; the darkness of Harrys character is so very palpable... Which is actually a testament of the greatness of the script, no matter how you choose to handle stuff the ride promises to be... Eventful, ha.
I believe the story is actually based arround a novel? Not entirely sure to which extent but the writing is top notch for sure. Difinitely will go back to it because it's a piece of art.
Day 3 is relatively early on, yea. And it's definitely hard to stomach at times.
Yea the novel came before the game came out but didn't make all too well, sadly. It's set in Elysium, but I don't know what it's about.
The writing absolutely is really good. Kurvitz is a talented writer, and he and his former writing team did a stellar job. It really shows that they poured their heart and soul into it.
