Indy game I got in a Humble Bundle. Heavy on story, light on game play. Easy to play quick or long sessions.

Remember the cab Bruce Willis drove in The Fifth Element? That's your main mode of transportation here except you're a delivery driver. Not sure why delivery services are poo-pooed in this world, particularly when it seems everyone relies upon them.

Anyway, you go from place to place picking up and dropping off. You also walk around a bit grabbing items, selling them, upgrading your house, and listening to a lot of people's stories. It's very well written, but still pretentious. Loads of allegories about our own existence, technology, and so on. There are moments you'll appreciate some of the dialogue and moments you'll see gapping flaws in logic.

The car handling is weird. Most of the time it handles fine, if a bit boring. Sometimes it feels way too loose. You can upgrade it, but aside from the speed boost for the three timed missions, there's not much point. Also, the traffic is a pain in the ass. Avoid it by flying above it or below.

Overall, it's fine. A bit memorable based on the setting, but little else. If you don't like dialogue, this should be a hard pass for you.
