    Was thinking about getting it in the current Steam sale. Is it any good? I enjoy playing “walking simulators” if they have a good story

      It’s decent. It’s a slow burn, but it’s ok. If you’ve read the novel, you already know the “big secret” of the story, but that’s fine. The visuals are nice, some kind of future sovietpunk thing. I’d rate it 6.5 or 7.

      I played it on the Deck where it ran fine.

        Thanks, I just bought it on Steam. I haven’t read the book, maybe it’s even better then.

          Then you’ll have the full surprise of the story. I hope you enjoy it. And if you do, the book was quite good (also, there again, some of the surprise will have been revealed beforehand).

            Thanks! Guess one has to choose to be spoilered either by the book or the game.

              The game takes place just before the book. It made me want to read it again. I’d have new visuals to associate with it.
