You’ve probably heard people recommending this game to you but are kind of unclear on why you should play it. It’s hard to sell without spoiling it, but there are essentially 5 “endings.” Endings A and B are 10–15 hours each depending on how many side quests you want to do (do them all), Endings C and D are about 3 hours each, and ending E is about 30 minutes long. Don’t let that dissuade you — you’ll get the same story from totally new angles and find out a ton of new information, each piece of data more sobering than the last.
Take control of androids 2B (aka 2Booty4Me) and 9S (aka my real, sweet, human son) and try to keep the last dregs of humanity from going extinct against an endlessly growing sentient AI. Hundreds of years after the AI rose up, humans fled to space, forsaking their home back on earth as robots infested it. This game will slowly suck the life out of you, driving you into one existential crisis after another, questioning what was ever real and if anything ever mattered — and then put you back together at the end with the promise that you are not alone. You are never alone. There is always someone out there willing to help. I hate to do this, but for the sake of my mental health I need you to play this game.
