Is it still worth playing?

A bartender, a hacker and an android work to stop a corporation from removing anger and depression from every implanted human, in this 2018 cyberpunk adventure. Donovan owns the Red Strings Club and mixes drinks to bring out emotions in his patrons, which lets him probe them for information, though volatile moods can cut a conversation short. At the end of each encounter, Akara-184, an android with advanced empathy, tests him on the motivations of the people he has talked to. Brandeis, a freelance hacker, designs genetic implants on a lathe to change the attitudes of executives. You also impersonate important figures over the phone and play their motivations against each other. Bartending, pottery and phone calls still give a story about happiness three different ways of playing.
