I was listening to the GOTY 2012 Bombcasts this past weekend and after hearing about how much everyone on the podcast loved this game I decided to finally play it. I started Sunday morning and played for almost seven straight hours. I don't think a game's story has sucked me in this much in a long time. Sadly work didn't allow me to keep playing or else I think I would have and I finally was able to finish it up yesterday.

The game is like playing through a movie or TV show where you make choices that affect the character relationships and what will happen to them throughout the journey. This worked really well and I felt like I could actually connect with the characters I wanted and kind of ignore some of the characters I did not care for. This kind of interaction leads to some very emotional moments in the story.

Overall anyone who enjoys a great story in a video game should play this immediately.
