I tried playing this game this past weekend. Got it on a steam sale. I had to stop 15 mins in. It quite possibly has the worst voice acting EVER in a video game. I cannot understate how bad it is.

IT. IS. TERRIBLE

The main character sounds like he's voiced by the monotone dude that coded the game talking into a $10 mic he picked up from goodwill. The way he says "mother" 50 times a minute makes me want to rip my GD ears from my head. Some of the characters are OK. Those are obviously paid voice actors. But for others it's family and friends sale. It completely breaks the immersion.

So I'm warning you all, if you even remotely care about the quality of voice acting stay far away. It will make your ears bleed. Also I heard episodes 4-5 sucked hard.
Game free to start, $25 to finish. That's called a demo.

Actually it has a pretty good story. The mysterious and thrilling story line is actually quite enjoyable. Not for everyone, since it plays like the old school Money Island games, or The Raven tales, in the sense of finding clues, solving puzzles and moving the character around to do so.

Just be aware that the last two episodes are not well liked. A great game until then, though! Also discounted something like 66% on steam...

This game seems like an historian got high while writing a Telltale game.

just as digaphobia listed, it's later episodes are on Steam at 66% off.

But to further mention, the first part of the game is free there too.

True, although if you pay the full $25, you're using slickdeals wrong.

Not Having Played It,

I will offer THIS much. If interested...

I bought the ENTIRE "season" (or whatever) for like eight dollars a few months back.

Please. Save your super-clever "time machine" jokes. Point being the whole thing can (and does) go cheaper. Just something to think about for those who don't fancy going all in for twenty-five right now.
