How it feels

A solitary journey through an atmospheric world, driven by exploration and narrative discovery.

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.
