How it feels

A grim, ticking-clock RPG where every choice carries irreversible weight in a brief, desperate hour.

What players say

Players praise the non-linear story with many endings, but note the one-hour time limit feels arbitrary since progress often stalls before then. The lack of manual saves and repetitive early sections frustrate, and some actions like buying a train ticket or a gun lead nowhere.
