Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

"Linear" is not a word I would use to describe it, hah. I'm pretty sure you can go back to the start, make different choices, and play another 70+ hours of content you've never seen. Which is even more insane.
that's the thing that set it apart. AAA games don't do this because it's a ton of extra work and most players won't even see it. this is only achievable by a creatively independent studio that respects the medium as an art form. if you think in pure bang-for-buck value, it's literally insane to even attempt to do what they did.
