What players say

Players praise the compelling story and atmosphere, but warn that the game can be tedious, especially a late-game mechanic players call 'Sonitron' or 'type help' that feels forced. The interface frustrates with poor search and no note-taking, and bugs like soft locks and blank articles occur.
