Though it was considered revolutionary two decades ago, giving players a choice in how they respond to game content is almost a given at this point. We can choose to go in all-guns-blazing or take a stealthy approach to combat, fast travel or use vehicles to get to our destinations, and, most importantly where South of the Circle is concerned, change the entire outcome of a story by our choice of words in dialogue.
At first glance, South of the Circle seems to offer much of what we've grown used to. Most dialogue is meaningless in the grand scheme of things, with you simply choosing how to react emotionally (more on that in our full South of the Circle review), but there are certain moments where you can choose a direct response from multiple options. These count, and stick until the very end.
At least, that's what you're led to believe. Spoiler alert: South of the Circle, in fact, smartly flips the system we've grown used to on its head. As you barrel towards its emotional conclusion, it renders your prior decisions redundant in the blink of an eye.
