Discaimer: I am a friend of the director, Teddy Dief, so while I'll do my best to remain objective, a lot of what makes this game special will rely on subjective appreciation because it is a closely-connected collection of what I feel are very personal tales. And much like when I share my own, many people will be simply, unable to relate, while many will listen for hours wanting to understand me.

This is a game that wants to be noticed and understood, but also asks for your patience as it makes you follow the characters meandering left and right until they find the right words or actions to state their point.
I believe this is done intentionally to tell the player that it's ok for people to feel emotions that they can't articulate, because it's often the attempts to do so that's required to understand them fully.

I recommend this game to mainly 2 groups of people:
- anyone with any kind of creative goals, whether they're personal or professional.
- anyone who is curious to take a peek into what life FEELS like for young, creative professionals trying to find happiness in the hip LA scene. As someone who used to fit that demographic, I can attest to the accuracy of the physical atmosphere and the emotional tones the game conveys in various scenes in which the characters appear.

( I have only played the first episode so I will write a full review after a full playthrough. This is also my first time writing a review and I'm learning that it's very hard )

If you enjoy strategy games, this is a game I can't recommend enough. It is a fresh take on the RTS genre that removes all the layers that usually distracts the players from focusing on the strategy aspect while giving you very precise, direct control of the units. Jumping into the game for the first time, or even just watching it, you *get* the game very quickly because the art and the sound do such a great job of communicating what is happening. You can see literally everything that is happening in the game with one glance. The game is elegantly designed to allow FUN for all skill levels ( even for a filthy casual noob like myself ) with depth of complexity that I will probably never unlock. The art is also spot-on and helps to make every action feel almost tactile and satisfying. I get bored with games in general pretty quickly but this is a game I never hesitate to play when I have the chance.
