Solid Story, Worth Your Time

If youre up for a good story, and a surprising amount of personal investment in a fictional character, this is probably your game. The new character might grate on you at first, but give her some time. You cant help but see her mission through (and perhaps feel guilty about the things youve encouraged her to do). Poor girl. The people and locations were always interesting, though not ground-breakingly novel. The incredible number of solutions to puzzles and endings you could stumble into were wonderfully well thought out. (I "solved" one with a wad of gum, more or less). Having to rely on her descriptions of the surroundings, and what (& when (& if)) she chooses to tell you adds a tangible layer of tension to every decision. There are no cheap or undeserved Game Overs, and they all have the promise of revealing something interesting. An unexpected, but worthy follow-up to the original 2 Lifelines.
