A relaxed, story-driven detective noir in a retro-futuristic city, with hand-drawn visuals and gentle humor, perfect for unwinding.

What players say
Players praise the hand-drawn art and noir atmosphere but consistently note the game is very short, around one hour. It is a simple point-and-click VR adventure with easy puzzles, often compared to classic adventure games like Grim Fandango. Some find it works best as a prologue to the sequel.
