  I died from sitting on a slightly uncomfortable chair that one time.

    It was very uncomfortable.

    Apparently that chair is a common soft lock people hit.

      The “union” leader is what makes me uncomfortable.

        More than his super racist guard? I felt like there was no way to handle this situation without disappointing Kim… which was not out of the ordinary in my playthrough but still… :(

  As someone who has never played the game before, I really can’t tell if you’re making all of this up. It sounds fascinating.

    It’s real. You can even die at the beginning of the game attempting to grab your tie.

      I mean, only because you picked some build that gave you 1 HP.

        Sure, but your first time through it’s easy to not understand the mechanics.

        You can die due to having too low morale, too.

        Or killing yourself as an intimidation tactic during an interrogation, regardless of your stats.

        Practically all versions of the detective are susceptible to self-inflicted demise in one shape or another.

    It’s really worth playing. The voice acting is stellar, and it really is the best “role-playing” game, in the sense that you are fully immersed in role-playing a character. The mental gameplay mechanics are GOAT, and one-of-a-kind.

      For me it is how real every character in the game feels, they’re all weird and ridiculous but feel like real people 100%
