Sam can be everything from a well-intentioned if traumatized gumshoe to a town bully dependent on how you want to play him, and oftentimes walking the line between the two is necessary.

The performances all around are rock solid, although there is arguably no standout on the level of Erica Lindbeck or Ashly Burch in Tell Me Why and Life is Strange respectively. Nick is an engaging character in the flashbacks we see of him, and his daughter Joan, nicknamed Bug, is a sympathetic figure. Anna, Sam’s ex, is a feisty, exciting heroine with a good eye for detail. The characters, unsurprisingly, are great. Now, whether he likes it or not, Sam will have to call upon some old friends, as well as his conscience (personified as a dual personality known as “him” that looks rather close to YouTuber and author Hank Green) to find out what happened the night before, clear his name, and maybe even find out what killed his friend. He wakes up the next day and finds his shirt absolutely drenched in blood.
