For those unfamiliar with the game I would highly recommend it if you are interested in CRPG games with excellent writing. There is a lot of text in this game, but with the most recent version of the game most of it is voice acted. Many lines will stick with you later. It's rare to not be taken by something in the game, as expansive as it is.

For a more general description of the game: you are a detective, you must solve the case, and your fractured psyche will not let you do it alone.

It's also an atypical videogame in that there's no significant combat mechanics (combat is as rare and exceptional as in real life), and the setting is far from your usual videogame setting (it feels like like alternate history mid-to-late 20th century Eastern block, but it's entirely fictional) and themes (ostensibly a detective game, but leans heavily into political commentary, morality, nostalgia). Despite the bleak setting, it's also super funny at times in both subtle and unsubtle ways.

Honestly, I tried it, but I didn't understand the game.

Whats the C in CRPG? I know JRPG but not CRPG...

Computer RPG, as opposed to tabletop RPG. So technically JRPG should be JCRPG.
