How it feels

A serious, investigation-heavy point-and-click adventure set in a tense dystopian society with a comic book aesthetic.

What players say

Players agree the game is very short, finishing in under an hour. The story is unfinished, with episode 2 ending on a cliffhanger and no further episodes since development stalled. The point and click puzzles are minimal and the scenes are static, making it feel more like an interactive comic book.
