How it feels

a tense, choice-driven trek through a dystopian city where every decision carries weight and the atmosphere is thick with oppression

What players say

Players split on City of Chains. Some praise the dark cyberpunk atmosphere and how choices lead to multiple endings, while others say the writing is stiff, the combat repetitive, and the game feels like an awkward RPG Maker title. The difficulty draws complaints for being unbalanced.
