This game is something really special. First and foremost it absolutely smashes it in the visual style and sound design department. Music and art from this game can be enjoyed perfectly separate from it, makes a great playlist. It does an incredible job at setting the mood, and through excellent writing you get to experience the world from the eyes of a living, breathing person in it. You learn and puzzle the story together all from the perspective of a bartender, yet it extends so much further than just the bar. It highlights very human interactions. Quiet and loud conversations all in a little pocket, separate from the scary and dystopian outside world you barely get glimpses of.
The gameplay is very light, and exists mostly to give you things to do in between all the talking. Yet it feels natural and fun to do. It's a game where you need to get comfy and strap in for a long session.
