No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.
This indie darling is the greatest video game I have ever played, and it's not particularly close. The writing, voice acting, and soundtrack are all transcendent. The game isn't for everyone--little of worth is--but if you find detective stories and/or political satire interesting, you will probably love this game.

The studio wound”

“Probably the best writing ever in a game. Among the most original works I’ve seen anywhere. Characters and concepts that stay with you. Utterly impossible to describe.”
