After waiting patiently for this game to release, I can firmly say the end product being so much more than I expected. The game plays on some very intense situations as you join Gitta on her downward spiral into addiction. You're placed in scenarios where bad decisions can cost you your sanity and really throws out the question of how far are you willing to go for your next fix. One thing I absolutely loved about this game is that you can choose to not partake in Gitta's vices, but will equally struggle with getting by. Indulging in her addiction will lead you down a broken path, but choosing to stay sober will give you a chance to experience the mind-numbing struggle of *needing* to take one more hit, but refusing to do so. That is really well done in this game.

The game itself plays along to a metal/goth rock album that steals the show more times than not, especially when the characters in the scene not only acknowledge the music and lyrics, but actively respond and take part in performing them. This can start to dull out a little bit if you intend on replaying the game multiple times, but even after listening to the same songs 6-7+ times, they're still a welcomed change to the normal ambient music you find in most story-driven games like this.

As far the gameplay and decision making goes, I gotta say it's really well done. The game is full of quick moving QTEs that you'll need to perform, but unlike other games, if you fail these QTEs, the story will change. You have the opportunity to visit new cutscenes and areas depending on how well (or not well) you do with the QTEs (save for any "minigame" related ones). All of these areas are related to some form of collectible, be it a story item or a CD, so you really want to take your time and visit every branching path available in the game if you're going for all of the achievements. Be warned about those achievements, though, as some of those CDs are quite hard to find.

The voice acting in this game is absolutely phenomenal and really sets the tone for the ever-changing plot line that dips and dives through intermingling character stories. The more you learn about Gitta, the more questionable her situation becomes, but you can either let it get to you and cower away, or stand up and fight your demons. The game itself is not too long (looking about an hour/hour and a half depending on how well you do on the QTEs), but it offers a lot of replayability if you're willing to take some chances with your decisions. Overall, this game is very much recommended. It's intense, it's easy to play, it forces to you make quick and sometimes brash decisions, and is all delivered in a well put together musical package that you'll be thinking about well after you're done playing.
