Short, shallow, and unrealistic
The relationships in this game aren’t given any time to be developed. It feels very choppy and unrealistic. For example, you have a coworker who tells you - in your first interaction with him - that he’s embezzled half a million dollars from the company. (I’m not giving much away here, it happens early in the game.). He asks you to do him a favor and keep quiet about it to protect him, and to tell lies which could implicate you. To convince you, he shows you a picture of a kid (which you’ve never seen or heard of before), and claims he’s sick and needed medical treatment. The game is unclear on whether you have any background with the character, but you’ve only started working there recently, so you probably don’t. Can you imagine if a coworker you barely know embezzled and asked you to cover for them??? If you say no, he’s really chilly to you as though he had actually asked something reasonable of another person.
The whole game has people acting in irrational ways. You can get away with things which would be immediately caught in the real world.
The game is also shorter than most CoG.
I gave the game 2 stars instead of 1 because I did really like the concept behind the game. The author thought of great plot elements (your relationships with your team and your undercover life) and the stats/background personalization were appropriate and worked with the game.

A lot of fun and cool story
I pretty much have played all the COG’s
This one was the perfect blend of reading and choices. The repeat value was also pretty good
Wish it was a little longer, but it was decent length and well written.

Had a lot of promise
The game was interesting, but unfortunately felt like it had been pressed for time, the plot accelerated so quickly, and there were a lot of things that happened in the story that were just on the verge of being incredibly interesting but fell a little short, and the ending was abrupt and characters/storylines seemed like they had been dropped completely. Specifically, any romance was just not mentioned, and if you *spoiler alert* tried to deal with the biological weapon instead of rescuing the person who
Was kidnapped, even if you romanced that person, their fate was never addressed. And even if you were just PRETENDING to work with Silas in the end you just let him go? And I’m not sure if this was an error, but I showed the director evidence of the real betrayal, and it said it was enough to clear my friend’s name and remove this other person from power, but on the next page that person was promoted and my friend had to stay in hiding.
To be clear, it wasn’t a bad game at all! But it could have been great.
