It's a strange and interesting game.
There's definitely a placescape torment vibe to it, but it's a detective game so there's isn't in real combat. The writing is incredible and it really encourages you to play outside of your comfort zone.
I mean so far I've: hit on an elderly lady in a wheel chair because I needed money, punched a 12 year old in the face to get him to stop yelling rape, shot a dead body I'm investigating down from a tree he was hanging from, and nearly got into a fight with a guy I was questioning because he was being racist toward my partner. The game generally doesn't punish you for doing the things other games punish you for.
I'm about 3 hours into it and it's a 60-90 hour game so I'm just scratching the surface, but I'd say 9/10 for torment fans.
For everyone else:
If you enjoy a strong story, don't mind reading a lot of text, are willing to do the off the wall shit other games don't want you to do, and the lack of combat isn't a dealbreaker then it's something to look into.
