  1. Any of the three archetypes are fine for your first playthrough, although I really enjoyed Sensitive.
  2. Don’t be afraid of failure. They all provide avenues for story. Many of the most popular bits of dialogue are hidden behind failures.
  3. You’re going to want to listen to Kim. Fine in most cases, but don’t be afraid to ignore him when he complains about how something is irrelevant to the case. It’s part of the story that you are constantly perusing things that are not relevant to the case. It’s thematic, even. Lean into it.
