One Thousand Lies

It's a fun read, well written, contains surprisingly good humor, character interactions feel 3 dimensional even though you cant interact in any way, if you're looking for a good time and have some hours to spare do give it a try.

I thought I was going to read a quirky little story. Instead, I got psychoanalyzed, gaslit, and emotionally drop-kicked by a cast of characters who refuse to behave like they’re supposed to.

The plot seemed like it was written by an ai and there was barely any art but some parts were an enjoyable read, 5/10

The good and bad points of the story etc. have been mentioned in other reviews, so I want to draw your attention toward the names. At first look, they are somewhat exotic, but not excessively so. They are real names, though from various languages, picked by the author for their meaning (etymology).
The most obvious are those of the two girls Ciarán has a strange encounter with:
Luce Aurea - light; gold
Claire Argyris - clear; silver
which reflects their look and demeanour.
now for the rest:
Ciarán Endyein - little dark; the surname is related to "enter" but it's more important that it's related to Endymion, the lover of the moon goddess.
Ziva Shani - radiance; Saturn / wonderful / crimson - not sure what the surname is supposed to mean, likely something to do to her personality.
Ausse Ealdwine - Moses; old friend - the second part is self-explanatory.
Diniz D'Cruze - Dionysus; of hollow / of cross - is gluttonous, slothful like the god, not sure about the second part.
The translation is on the whole good but, even though I do not know enough Spanish to confirm it, it makes the philosophical parts harder to understand. If I find the time, I will try to reread in Spanish.
It is a game I am nostalgic for, having picked it up around 2016 when it was released and starting it a few times before finally setting aside the time to finish it in 2025. It seems like a remake is underway as of this year and I will be happy to support it.

The world is not just black and white, thus the lies involved cannot be so easily judgeable as to say if they were 'right' or 'wrong'

Woman stole my life away or something. Sounds about right.
The soundtrack is beautiful.
