This was the first of several writingbased reasons that the game never synced for me like it apparently did for everyone else. The game wants you to feel for cop man Harry and it never succeeded in convincing me to have interest in his wellbeing and I'm surprised as many people had that interest as they did. I still went through the motions of his road to healing arc because that's what the game clearly wants you to do but by the end I still felt nothing for this slightly less of a total wreck man, and by then the rest of the writing had started to annoy me as well.
Not to suggest I suddenly have any interest in this game either. Giving private investor skinwalker slop space in your brain never ends well, and the cynic in me has to believe the lesbian protagonist was chosen solely to gain favor with the less intellectually rigorous Tumblr side of DE's fandom that never even played the game or knew what dialectical materialism was and just got obsessed with drawing and writing about Harry and Kim kissing. The same people that hideous "collage mode" was added to cater to.
