Strangerville is a beautiful neighborhood. I was never one for desert-type neighborhoods in the past (Strangetown, Lucky Palms, Oasis Springs) but there's something delightfully atmospheric about this sprawling grand canyon town. I loved the linear gameplay of Strangerville and hope for either an extension of this story further down the line or additional neighborhoods that follow in this same straing of gameplay.
My gripes with it was that the conspiracy theory slant wasn't given more meat, with smaller mysteries to uncover that related back to the game somehow, like the Goth family or those horrifying gnomes. I feel like Get to Work could have tied well into this neighborhood as well, with people asking too many questions being sent to jail and having to pay bail or get bailed out, people being hospitalized, as well as any crossover connection between Strangerville and the Get to Work aliens. I also wish that, like Get to Work, Strangerville would have had a designated work location for military personnel and scientists. These things could have really provided replay value as I now struggle to find a reason to play the story again. Strangerville's saving grace really is how truly beautiful and eclectic it all looks and feels.
