Had the delight of being a test-group for this game's first run with the live actor included, and we absolutely adored it. It's kind of a game in two phases - a linear, puzzle-light roleplay, then blending into a non-linear puzzle-run at the end, while keeping a consistent tone.

 A (non-scary!) live actor will be in the room with you for the first half, and I think that section is about getting back what you put in in terms of immersing yourself. This is a SILLY game, you will enjoy it more if you get silly with it too. You might have a little down-time between obvious puzzles, so why not do what we did - convince your guard she should really be joining in on prison yoga, probe into what exactly drives someone to a career in law enforcement, and construct an elaborate story about the rats that are for sure in your cell offier I don't know what you're talking about I've never passed a note in my life it was the RATS!

... Anyway. Things may have changed slightly since ours was a test game pre-opening, but I can assume only for the better. I can't wait to see what Nomad does next!
