How it feels

You sit in the dark, scanning static-laden security feeds, waiting for something to subtly shift or vanish while the game quietly presses on your nerves.

What players say

Players enjoy the gameplay and find the anomalies fairly balanced, but are frustrated by Steam achievements tied to content that has not been released for months and by achievement requirements that demand dozens of playthroughs per level. Reviews also note the developer takes long absences, leaving the game feeling stuck in early access, and some suspect AI art use.
