I started playing with it, and I'll wait until I have more time to say more. The first thing that struck me is that it often reminded me of Fahrenheit, whose system was not that much different --- and which also, despite the apparent freedom given, almost always ends up giving the same result.

Another question that struck me. In The Pandora Directive, you need at one point to pry some info from a sweet little old lady. The conversation starts by giving you three choices, labeled (I believe): 'Be honest', 'Little white lie', and 'Big black lie'. How would such a case (or a variant of it, basically anything that neither relies on the opposition nice/angry, nor on the question/statement/meh categories) be handled?

More on this as time permits (which probably means in a couple of weeks ).
