The WhatsNext verdict

For Players who want a melancholic sci-fi story where their dialogue choices shape how it ends: Each conversation asks you to weigh what you say, and the story reflects those choices in its ending. Tradeoff: Long stretches of talking and reading leave little room for action, so players who want constant urgency may tire of it.
