How it feels

A blend of tense heist sequences and relaxed digital wandering through a minimalist cyberpunk world.

What players say

Players describe Datascape as an unusual hacking sim that demands patience and attention. The core loop involves a hacking minigame to access cubes filled with puzzles and story fragments. Opinions clash: some praise the faithful Neuromancer-inspired cyberspace feel and voice acting, while others find the writing, visuals, and gameplay repetitive and unengaging. The game requires a controller.
