How it feels
You are a lone employee fleeing a giant mechanical fish through a perpetually rainy, gloomy pixel city in a tense side-scrolling escape.

What players say
Players are split on A Strange City. Some call it a short, fun platformer with an odd art style, while others dismiss it as an asset flip from a known shovelware developer. The controls feel strange on keyboard, there are only six levels, and the game lacks boss fights and achievements. Its very short runtime, around half an hour to three hours, is a common point.
