They're Estonian, but apparently they moved to London and have rich friends that provided for them while making the game. So, they are really just some of those new hypocrite hippy commie types. The game is also set in a setting that revolves around post-war labor issues, race and all those other things. People I trust tell me that it's not too heavy or stupid for the most part, but expect political shit going on.
That said, the game is masterfully written, and the concept is great. You wake up from a near-death booze binge not really sure who the fuck you are, only to find out you're a cop and you're in the area to investigate a murder. You have to piece together what happened with not only that, but yourself. And your character was a real severe asshole, which you can choose to continue as, or try to make up for it. You can't change what happened, but you can change how you move forward from it.
I paused several times to appreciate the writing and found myself cracking up quite often to the results of my choices, and that was all just within the first area. I only stopped playing because I need to be in a certain mood to play text-heavy RPG's.
