How it feels

Navigating a retro-future city through cryptic puzzles and a story that unfolds slowly, with a focus on environmental storytelling and manual interaction.

What players say

Players love the pixel art and Master Boot Record soundtrack, but the puzzles are a major sticking point. Many call them arbitrary and moon-logic, requiring a guide to finish. The story has its fans but others find the protagonist unlikeable and the plot confusing. There is a story mode that makes puzzles easier, but some find it buggy.
