The story really captivated me, so much that I replayed it four more times trying to get all the achievements. After you've completed the story once, you can skip through the conversations but it still takes just shy of 1 1/2 hrs to get through. There are 5 hidden achievements that I haven't been able to unlock, but I think at some point I will try again, just because I like the story and characters so much. Really

From the outset, the tone is introspective and subdued, grounding the player in
