The episodic game is closer to an interactive narrative, where you pick dialogue in a limited time and make lasting choices that affect the story.
The writing leads to decisions and conflicts that seem to mimic real life in 2020: a radio broadcast in the game states that the affliction was spreading unchecked, that the death toll was skyrocketing and that avoiding contact with exposed individuals was vital. During an actual pandemic, this story line hit differently. I couldn’t help but reflect.
