Come for the film pastiches, the outstanding cast, and the themes of artists' and audiences' relationship with their art. Stay for Ty Molbak's abs and ass.

Not entirely sure the meta-plot holds up (though reading the linear plot synopsis on Wikipedia helps), but particularly as a cinephile, I found nearly every scene here enjoyable to watch even before getting into the additional meta-layer, which is a pretty impressive achievement (especially as Barlow's previous game Telling Lies stumbled pretty badly in that regard).

also, if you're playing on PC, definitely use a controller, as vibration is pretty crucial here
