How it feels

A blend of moody cyberpunk noir and quirky detective comedy with a first-person point-and-click feel, paced by FMV scenes and a befuddling mystery.

What players say

Players say the campy low-budget acting and film-noir sci-fi vibe carry the game, but the gameplay drags with pixel-hunting and convoluted puzzles. Several call out a built-in hint system as a crutch, while a few complain about unskippable sound effects and no key rebinding.
