It's been a month since finishing and I've had a chance to reflect on #cyberpunk2077's narrative.
I think the branching-start-branching end model for storytelling is elegant. V can start in different places and end in different places. What results is a different perspective on fundamentally the same story: Night City and its hyper-capitalist, merc-dominated life, chews up individuals and destroys them as it perpetuates itself.
