It didn't take too long for me on my first play, I played it close to when it came out and when it came out Harry's situation at the start of the game was pretty dsmn familiar. I was never mistaken for a liberal in that play but without spoiling too much playing that angle brings up legit and scathing critiques of communism post ussr. It resulted in wayyyy too much self examination to tackle all at once without genuinely spiraling.

The Vision Quest really did make the whole thing less depressing.
