You read and decide your way through a branching sci-fi story where pausing time lets you shape events through written choices.

What players say
Players complain that key choices are taken away, with the game forcing the protagonist to act against their decisions and then criticizing them for it. The story begins strong but loses momentum, and the abrupt ending leaves many unsatisfied, especially since no sequel has appeared after years.
