Walkthrough/Playthrough/Let's Play
Description:
Pax, Noam, and Sai are Anomals, who have to hide their Vox powers to avoid persecution from the governments of Pacifica and the American Republic. The trio is recruited by Theo to help steal data from the technocratic government of Pacifica and to deliver it to Nova Scotia. Unfortunately, this also makes them fugitives as they flee from the authorities of both states. Pax, being the unofficial leader, must use her own Vox powers and social skills wisely in order to make it to Nova Scotia and hopefully find a new home where she and her friends can be free.

0:39 Issue 0 - First Pullover
You can choose to have Pax interrupt the party's argument sooner, but I chose to wait until the looping part. Sometimes, you can skip choices by letting the dialogue play out, but sometimes you are forced to say something. IMO, the game needs to have a visible timer showing how soon the conversation will reach its end, allowing players to potentially throw in an answer at the last second while extracting as much info as possible.
Also, there is no manual saving, which makes it hard to explore dialogue trees.
When the cop pulls the party over, you have several choices on how to resolve it. I chose to have Noam use their Vox power, but this caused the officer to foolishly step into the middle of the street and get isekai'd by Robotruck-kun. The state isn't sending their best. Alternatively, it's possible that self-driving car technology in this timeline is incredibly flawed because of rushed production.

Red text is determined by your choices, but black text is always the same across all playthroughs.

34:14 Issue 1 - La Torre
You have to do a minigame to help Luna, who got trapped under a bus. Remember to use jackstands. This is totally not a reverse psychology recommendation for any potential haters flocking to this video's comment section. Seriously, you need to have backup plans.

46:59 Issue 1 - La Torre
This is supposed to be a subterranean farm collective. Are they growing weed?
I probably should have allowed all the conversations to play out to their full length instead of interrupting, though I wonder if there are consequences to that too. Supposedly, there is no right or wrong way to play the game, but I'm too anxious to stop thinking about what I missed. I need to tell myself to appreciate what I found instead.
Ironically for a game about the persecution of ability users, Pax is robophobic. Maybe the cop wasn't the first person she saw get isekai'd by a robotruck.
