UnEarth Messages
The player learns to make better dialogue choices by recognizing the emotional state of those they communicate with and then respond appropriately and strategically. The player then continues to apply these new-found communication strategies in order to continue their progression through this mysterious new world. Ultimately, the player learns how to successfully navigate the game's eclectic cast of characters, with their correspondingly wide range of personalities.
And they do so without violence.
