Headbutting is great, helps you see the things from other perspectives, I just experienced it here with fellow anon who came up with better than me for Malt's happy life after the war.
But even with the greatest script ever the game has a fatal flaw. At the very beginning it makes you feel like a monster, no casual gamer want to be hit with such a thing at the very start of the game. Professional reviewers powered through, because that's their job. But average player? S/He wants to relax and play a game about adorable animal people driving a tank.
