I made a point a few years ago to play through every single unplayed game in my steam library. I'd picked up over a hundred games from random sales and humble bundles, And thought it was a disservice to myself to have unplayed games while buying new ones. This was one of them. I think this game had one of my favorite stories of any RPG I've ever played; it was number one until Baldur's gate came out. I later learned it was a spiritual successor to planescape torment.

If you liked this one, another gem that I played during that time was Tyranny. I'm currently working my way through pillars of eternity; I'm really liking it as well so far.
