What does this even mean?

I really like this one, although I admittedly didn't do any replays: I actually managed to get a somewhat hopeful ending on my first run and am too afraid to screw everything up beyond repair if I try to do things differently.

Love the premise of this game even though it can be a bit heavy-handed and lacking-in-nuance with it's story-related decisions and plot escalation. Gameplay loop is a rudimentary and less engaging version of Lucas Pope's "Papers Please". Likeable NPCs, has some replay value with an interesting meta narrative that triggers on your second and third play throughs. Art direction for the city and night time atmosphere are well done. Kind of straddles the line between "Hazy" and "Good/Great".
