Had I played this when it came out in 2010, I would have rated it much higher. At the time, it must have been quite impressive, certainly unique in a way. Sadly, it hasn't aged well.

The graphics might be a bit dated but they're still holding up in my opinion. I didn't even mind the gameplay mechanics. No, I was just very, very disappointed with the writing.

The narrative is pretty silly: It has plot holes, misplaced sex scenes and characters behaving rather weirdly in general. All of this wouldn't be much of an issue if the game didn't take itself so seriously but it just does.

I got the feeling that it was trying to tell me something important about society's structure but whatever point it had got overshadowed by its rather lazy writing and its awful conclusion.
