What players say

Players describe it as a desktop detective game in the vein of Daniel Mullins titles, with terminal hacking puzzles and a variety of minigames that shift genres. They praise the hint system and character writing, but note bugs and a difficulty spike around day 5. Some players found the pacing uneven or disliked unexpected genre shifts.
