What players say

Players say it is a short, atmospheric spin-off best for a few evenings. Many note the story picks up late and the gameplay can feel tedious or unfinished, with unclear quest markers and limited interaction outside of missions. The game is well-received for its dark humor, multiple endings, and references to dystopian classics, but opinions split on whether it justifies its price.
