But by the end the main character was already preventing choices that we made from happening which feels like something that would be cool later on in this type of movie genres lifespan. Maybe it was just the paths I chose, but near the end the character barely listened to my choices, then eventually gave up and literally asked me what to decide.

Breaking the fourth wall was kind of inevitable, but it really wasnt done well. I really wish this didnt have the name Black Mirror attached to it. It kinda drags the whole series down.

They didn't really give you much freedom, it's all rigged to still end up basically the same way, or you reach a dead end and you have to go with another answer to get where they want you to go. As I said before, this isn't really a typical Black Mirror episode, there's no warning of how tech can one day hurt your life, it's kind of like 10 Cloverfield Lane and Cloverfield Paradox, would have been fine on their own but they just attached a brand name to it.
