Games don't have settings such as this very often - a brick laden rust belt town with weird goth kids, angry neighbors, drifters, hipsters, and working stiffs. Games don't often have characters this well developed and lovable and occasionally hilarious. Games don't often tackle issues like anxiety, depression (both emotional and economical) and are rarely this nuanced with regards to religion. While I think you could trim the story a bit here and there and the gameplay can feel a tad monotonous, some mild meandering is worth the price of visiting Possum Springs for yourself. This is a special game.
