Well shit, might as well start a topic and see how this goes.
How to describe this game…
DiM's an atmospheric adventure/horror game about, principally, bad choices. It's about a company trying to prevent the apocalypse unsuccessfully. It's about a dead man blackmailing another dead man to go recover the other's corpse from an abandoned military facility which straddles the line between the Pacific and the Atlantic.
It's about sin, and redemption, and all the ugliness and brilliance of humanity.
It's about aliens from another dimension who are forever suffering at the hands of a cruel god - looking for a way to escape.
It's about the 'soul' of a man trapped in a machine built to relentlessly and methodically tear the truth from the acerbic madness he's lived with most his life - and the man on the other side of that machine who's forced to be the vessel through which that occurs - and the men operating the machine operating the man who's operating the memories of the other man - and the men who oversee all the others.
But most of all it's about a simple question: 'What is the truth?'
You'll have to dig through corpses, suffer through paranoia, and live with an unconscionable machine which wasn't programmed for ethics as it was programmed for efficiency - but at the end of it all lies the answer to that question. Or one answer to it. One of 12 answers, specifically, and an ultimate answer - the actual truth.
