How it feels

A slow, text-heavy puzzle box where you piece together clues through dialogue and deduction in a brooding urban setting.

What players say

Players are sharply divided on the writing: many call it needlessly wordy and pretentious, while a few appreciate its atmosphere. Complaints also target stiff character portraits with no expressions and a disappointing ending that undermines the build-up.
