How it feels
A tense, disorienting tactical struggle where you fight against your own unreliable control.

What players say
Players praise the novel semi-turn-based combat where you give orders during pauses, then watch the action unfold. Many call it a clever puzzle game with a dark sci-fi atmosphere, but some note the price feels steep for the content. Color blind players report the green and yellow units are indistinguishable.
