Loved this game! It’s also narrated by the original author.
I never knew that was the original author. The game and the book are just an awful (in a good way) experience that left me feeling so gross and hopeless after.
Harlan Ellison narrated the audiobook, and he hammed it up so much when delivering the AM lines (in a good way) that there was really no one else who could have voiced the role in the game by the time it was developed.
The best part about the game is that Ellison also wrote the script and dialogue for it.
One of the few near perfect adaptations of a short story or novel into a game. Harlan Ellison was notoriously difficult to work with at times, but this one they were able to do a great job.
