How it feels

A tense, uneasy blend of paranoia and dark comedy as you navigate a retrofuturistic dystopia, balancing survival and stealth against drug-addled, cheerful enforcers.

What players say

Players love the dystopian 1960s setting and story, but split on the gameplay -- many find the open world empty, the combat repetitive and the stealth unreliable. A common complaint is that the game feels unfinished and buggy, some say it was abandoned after release.
