Harlan Ellison’s other work is also well worth the read, like Born in Blood. It’s very expensive to buy and there’s no Ebook so I recommend getting it from the library.
If I remember right, that game is pretty hard. I think you can make choices that will later turn out to stop you from completing it, but you won’t know until a few more hours in

Harlan Ellison also helped turn his story into a pretty cool game.

Not all that uncommon for the genre and the time. Fitting too, given the story, wouldn’t you say?
Oh yes absolutely, it’s not a criticism at all. More just me kicking some dusty neurons and coming up with something resembling a memory 😅
There is also an audiobook read by Harlan: https://youtu.be/dgo-As552hY
