Here’s what I’ll say if you’re anything like me: read the pickups. The little scraps of paper you find littered about the offices, the folders, the dossiers, etc. I don’t normally read that crap in most games, but in this game I noticed I started getting intrigued by a few after I’d been in playing for a while, and by the end of the game they were almost my favourite part. The kind of world outside the game’s plot, the mundane day-to-day existence of this organization when it’s not in a crisis, was very interesting to me.

So it might not be to you, people can be very different. But you could try giving reading a try and just see if the oddness hooks you like it did for me.
