How it feels

A tense, dialogue-driven interrogation where you parse emotions and uneasy truths in a cold, dystopian city.

What players say

Players compare it to a mix of Papers, Please and Detroit: Become Human. The interrogations start strong but later cases feel less nuanced, all androids are deviant, leaving choices reduced to help or destroy. Replaying is frustrating because events require waiting through read text again, and the writing is praised but some find it predictable or superficial after the first case.
