How it feels
A slow-burning, moody point-and-click detective story with a melancholic sci-fi noir atmosphere and a focus on investigation and narrative.

What players say
Players praise the post-apocalyptic story and strong voice acting, but are split on the augment system: some find it interesting, others call it a gimmick that creates frustrating puzzle permutations. Puzzles are generally easy though one or two can stop progression.
