Overall impression of the game so far, I'm impressed with the premise and different subplots that continue to change based on Blake's decisions. It was a little jarring at first to see Blake attempt to hold on to her former self and whatever level of masculinity that entailed prior to some really heavy traumatic events that take place, after which coincidentally she really seems to accept her new self and reality.
That said I was not prepared for how dark the story got in some places, though considering how it starts, I guess the dystopian setting should have tipped me off it wasn't going to be all sunshine and rainbows. I do see in some cases characters trying to evolve or change in spite of their surroundings and overall sense of despair and loss. I can appreciate that all characters, even the most vapid and one-dimensional ones with seemingly simple agendas can still surprise and show different layers of depth and rare self-awareness in trying to find their motivations for justifying their existence in this most bleak of an alternate reality.
