How it feels
A calm, rhythmic runner with pixel graphics and a linear, action-paced story set in a near-future political backdrop.

What players say
Players describe it as a challenging 16-bit arcade-style runner with a difficulty that some call unfairly high under the guise of retro design. The political story and included short film draw strong reactions, both praise and criticism. Opinions on the graphics are split, with some finding the pixel art a headache-inducing mess.
