How it feels

A slow, thoughtful journey through a noir-tinged sci-fi world as you click through motion-comic panels to uncover your character's purpose.

What players say

Players praise the art, music, and cyberpunk noir worldbuilding, but nearly all warn that the game is abandoned after act 2, leaving the story on a cliffhanger. The promised third act never arrived despite years of updates through 2021.
