This "game" is a piece of shit. Avoid it unless you're a big fan of Borderlands. Even then, you should probably avoid it.
I spent about two hours on this. I conclude that this is not a game. It is a playable story. Except it's not playable. I'd rather have this as a movie than anything I interact with.
It suggests that there are multiple storylines based on the selections you make. I guess this would add replayability, but I can't imagine going through this another time, especially since I'd be expected to remember what choices I made in previous runs.
The problem is that it switches between a movie that you sit back and watch to having a short timer to make conversational decisions. I was unable to push my chair back and enjoy it, being forced to have my hands on my keyboard and mouse. This really sucked.
Then there are the similar snap decisions you must make, or you die and the game ends. This reminds me of .. if I'm not mistaken, the unforgiving Dragon's Lair arcade game. Switching from chilling and watching a movie to "move or die" is not entertaining. Yes, it's die. As in game over start from the beginning. This happened to me once, and I gave up on the whole thing and demanded a refund (which I got).
This has the wonderful graphics of Borderlands, but it's packaged in a shitty interactive-abomination.
Maybe if it got cracked so I don't have to interact with it, and can just watch movies then I would consider paying money for it. As it stands, it's not even usable or mildly entertaining.

This isn't an actual game.
Whatever it is, it's got a laggy mouse, really crap controls, "play" which is uninspired and spur-of-the-moment. It doesn't have windowed fullscreen, default to my resolution and controller support.
It's a crap experience, like some sort of amateur Dragon's Lair.
If it were a bunch of movies, I'd keep it so it goes with the rest of my Borderlands collection. Being forced into this oddball interaction is just Wrong.
