How it feels

A fast-paced on-rails shooter through a bleak, hand-drawn underwater noir world with retro FMV cutscenes.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn FMV cutscenes and the unique anti-hero story, but nearly everyone warns that the controls are broken: the ninth level has an unplayable input lag when using a mouse, a bug that made the review consensus negative despite the nostalgia.
