Ohhh like youre living in a bd the whole time? Haha nah, you just got played by the typical backstabbing scum of night city

Since you dont care about spoilers.

Yes you are correct, be ready to run into MUCH more fcked up situations than this too. There are many people who kidnap people just to create actual torture porn to sell to people. You will run into a few of these situations first hand, mostly the aftermath of them, if you do sidequest. Reading every little thing you can gives you a ton more lore to the world! Enjoy the amazingly fcked up world of 2077's night city and all its crazy stories! 100% was my game of the year
