How it feels
A tense, paranoid interactive spy novel where you leap between bodies to uncover secrets before your own identity disintegrates.

What players say
Players praise the writing and the core body-possession mechanic but say choices rarely change the outcome and most stats feel meaningless. The story is linear and short, and many complain the ending is unresolved, with no sequel in sight. Opinion splits on whether the drama feels earned or manufactured.
