Critic's Conundrum

In 'Critic's Conundrum', you step into the shoes of a disillusioned book critic at the New York Times Book Review in the year 2002. Tasked with reviewing the latest literary releases, you'll navigate the absurd bureaucracy of the publishing world while grappling with your own opinions. Encounter a cast of eccentric authors, scheming publishers, and fellow critics who are either tired of the status quo or utterly devoted to it. As you write your reviews, you'll face choices that unleash consequences both comedic and catastrophic. Will you toe the line, delivering vanilla critiques to appease the establishment, or will you risk your career to critique the very system that feeds you? Your decisions will reshape the literary landscape and could either revive the Book Review or lead it into irrelevance.
