How it feels
You sit at a console, methodically piecing together evidence while the atmosphere grows increasingly tense and conspiratorial.

What players say
Players are split on the investigation premise: the atmosphere and story hook many, but the game is short, linear, and hands players solutions without letting them solve anything on their own. Most agree the plot twist is predictable and the ending feels abrupt, leaving them wanting more.
