been reading about the frankly harrowing things going on with the Replika AI app (as well as the advent of AI as we know it in our everyday lives, particularly with regards to ChatGPT and Character.AI). now thinking about how prescient Eliza was with this sort of thing a good four or so years before issues like this were catapulted into the mainstream, once again fulfilling one of the metrics of truly great cyberpunk

Eventhough I really like VNs I almost never play western ones since they are too romantic/relationships/datesim oriented. But this game... someone hold my beer... this game is awesome. The topics and depth of treatment of those way too good. A really nice outlier. I also spent so many hours playing the in game solitaire.

Some of the funniest, wildest environmental and encounter design I've ever seen wrapped in a genuinely tense push-your-luck game. It's all in the details - the weird aesthetic that straddles the line between lo-fi garishness and actual cool, the off-kilter architecture, the way characters will literally fly off-screen like they're wearing a jetpack when you fully complete their encounters. Just loved this, should probably play more Cosmo D games.
