How it feels

You design and optimize cooking assembly lines in a dark cyberpunk world, balancing tense automation puzzles with a gritty narrative heist.

What players say

Players compare it to Zachtronics games, especially Opus Magnum, and many find it falls short, lacking quality-of-life features and having a slower pace. The difficulty curve is uneven, with the Yakitori level singled out as unreasonably hard.
