This story stands out as one that I didn't especially enjoy at the time of playing, but that has since grown on me considerably. I would recommend, as I saw recommended in the forums after playing, that you do some reading up on the Mythraic Mysteries before playing. There's some good coverage age https://www.worldhistory.org/Mithraic_Mysteries/ . [...] I would advise you to play more on the edge. Don't just bee-line down the road. Investigate, learn more about what's going on, and take some risks with your time. It will both give more texture to the story and characters , and it increases the tension. The ending was quite good. In some ways it felt like a very dark farce. It also included one of the nastiest choices I've seen in some time, though I didn't actually take that.
