Besides what Marquess Cornwallis quoted, here is what made me ragequit:
After playing for a while, I acquired a Citizen Pass (that allows you to visit a certain part of the game) and also a Employee Badge to a certain company.
So I immediately head straight to the company, but the game will not even allow me to enter. Instead I am given the following line, "I have no reason to hang around, so I'll keep my distance". What in the fuck does that mean?
Fuck, anyways so I look around at a previous screen and see there is an NPC. In order to actually enter the company building I have to (your character is named Richard):
Approach the Work Assignment Office window and talk to the Civil Servant.
Richard will ask to be assigned as an Endora employee, but, no matter what reasoning he uses, he will be told that there Endora is not hiring at the moment. [This is the point where it's possible to lose the game by giving a wrong explanation to why Richard still has a personal card even though he was fired.] During the conversation with the guy Richard will notice that he doesn't speak well of Theolex.
Examine a Calling Card on the Civil Sevant's table to read the guy's name: Roman Pitra.
Now check the Theolex information display. Richard thinks that the Civic Servant might have spoke strangely about Theolex in connection with a recent mass layoff. Richard examines the list of recently fired personnel carefully. He notices a card number on that list which doesn't look like a Slum number. He also notices that the layoff is only effective tomorrow. [This is a good example of extraordinary detective work which would leave even Sherlock Holmes surprised. It seems completely implausible that Richard could deduct something from a list of personal card numbers and connect it to the guy working at the office.]
Talk to Civil Servant. Richard asks the guy about his experience with Theolex, complaining that he had a bad experience with the company himself, that he was falsely accused. Civil Servant reveals that his son is in the same situation right now and that his situation is very unclear at the moment. The guy offers Richard to get a job for Endora in exhcnage for erasing information on his son from the Theolex database. [Civil Servant doesn't say what the accusation against his son is, still, Richard writes in personal notes on his PDA that he must erase information on clerk son's theft. There was no mentioning of theft whatsoever.] [Also, that information Richard was able magically to dig up - about the guy being fired the next day from Theolex... How was he able to connect that person to clerk is beyond me.]
icardFacepalm:
It basically suffers from really bad
Engrish and shit adventure game design.
The ambient music was pretty good though.
