I absolutely adore this game, I think that it is quite possibly the best Role-Playing Game ever made, the role you decide to play feels intimate, no matter what path you decide to go down the writing never fails, it all feels great, all of the routes are thought-provoking and well-written. The art is absolutely beautiful, from the abstract skill and thought paintings to the unique and beautifully colored portraits for every single character and location in the game. The game's systems are unique and engaging, there's lots of little things to find if you decide to engage with them, so many small details that will make you smile.. or cry. It's a game that has a very high potential to change the way you think about life, or at least aspects of it.
DO NOT GET THIS GAME.
I got this game on sale, I didn't know what happened with the studio when I got it. The people who conceptualized all of the things I love about this game, the daring artists who took a chance and poured their hearts out are not making money from these sales and that disgusts me. ZA/UM is now home to none of the core members of the team that made this game, this world, these characters come to life, the people leading ZA/UM forward now are nothing but greedy ♥♥♥♥♥ who feed off of the less fortunate to prop themselves up on pedestals. This team is not worth supporting, it's barely worth acknowledging.
Find "other means" of playing this game, do not get it here, not even if it goes on 99% sale.
Collage mode was a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mistake you vultures.
