What players say
Players praise the art, soundtrack, and cyberpunk atmosphere, often comparing it to Disco Elysium. The story is short, around 8-10 hours, and can end early with no chapter replay. The dice system is fun but can cause softlocks, and bugs like blank screens and text scaling are common.
