How it feels

A slow-burn investigative point-and-click with a retro 90s adventure feel, exploring a dystopian near-future through detailed environments and dialogue-driven puzzles.

What players say

Players praise the story for its prescient political and AI themes, but almost everyone warns the gameplay is painfully slow, with clunky movement, baffling camera angles, and pixel hunting that forces a walkthrough.
