I tried playing this; the point where decided to put it down was after the MC had a novella's worth of thoughts before he'd even had the chance to exit the building you wake up in.

When they release a 'finished therapy' edition, or bat-to-the-back-of-the-head edition, then maybe I'll think about picking it up again; then again the lord of the rings trilogy had less text than DE did just by the time you were done getting something from the bathroom a minute into the game. If someone stuck Harry's head under water he'd still rattle off a full ten volume encyclopedia's worth of text before he blacked out.

Internal monologs and intee character dialogue is the gameplay. Those are the battle equivalents. Without it, it's Kings Quest

I'm sorry but this is horrific necktie erasure

I've always wished someone would make a mod for basically any of the Sierra SCI games that would add in Kim as a persistent companion who just kind of has to go along with the plot for reasons that are not addressed. He would fucking hate Larry Laffer

That would be genius. Police Quest would be more normal.

It wouldn’t be the same game at all if Harry wasn’t so absolutely neurotic, lol. I get why it not easy to get through, though. I tried starting it like 5 times before burning through the whole game in a week (thanks adhd)

Literally me, it took me two years of starting over to get past the first day. Then I finally burned through it a couple of months ago.
