    It’s about the exploring the story, the mind of your character, and lots of political and philosophical themes. The deep psychological exploration of the human condition is absolutely unique and fascinating.

    Maybe you’re too young or otherwise not ready to engage with these themes.

      Nobody reads anymore, anything more than a paragraph of text gets skipped by most people under 25 I think. I mean it broadly too, online, in games, in classrooms, in work meetings… it’s massively infuriating to someone who grew up reading books and has a brain adapted to creating worlds from abstractions.

      Definitely neither.

      I put down choose your own adventure stories a long time ago, and a digital one doesn’t hold me no matter how well it’s put together.
