Has anyone else played this one?
I’ve played through the first four episodes this week while I’m on vacation, and I don’t think the writing in a game has punched me in the gut to this extent since Bioshock or Dragon Age: Origins. (Though Detroit: Become Human is a close equivalent.)
I’m just blown away by the writing.

Help and suggestions
I played the first one of the series but bounced off it pretty quickly. Seems there are a lot of these now. Are they visual novels or something?
Basically. There’s a mostly linear plot with some diverging narrative choices that affect outcomes. There’s some sort of mystery element, you gather up information/clues/resources, and most of the games have some sort of superpower gimmick that you use to explore the world and story (e.g. rewinding time, telekinesis, aura reading).
The games are like an old point and click adventure, but without the pointing and clicking. Or the adventure. If that makes sense.
