Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: The backstory is built up very nicely, with no intrusive infodumps. The mysterious base just gets more and more mysterious.
Con: But the ending leaves us hanging. We have no idea what "war" the soldier is talking about, only a vague idea what the base is about, and no clue why the soldiers are allowed to be such jerks.
