Despelote showed me the year's greatest intro sequence, and its greatest advert for video games full stop

I'm going to spoil the opening of Despelote here - an opening which I think, as you can probably tell, is pretty glorious. It's not a spoiler so much as a contaminator, a finger on the scales of something it'll feel wonderful to go into unweighted. So go away right now if you want to experience it for yourself.

Pathologic 3 is the great Russian novel told as a video game, and a timely critique of intellectualism

What would the great Russian novel look like as a video game? If Dostoyevsky or Gogol had lived to dabble in Unity, what would be the result?
