How it feels

You navigate rain-slicked, pixelated streets and sterile labs, piecing together a noir mystery through methodical puzzles and slow-burn dialogue that feels like a detective film from the 1940s set in a cyberpunk future.

What players say

Players praise the cyberpunk noir atmosphere and dual-protagonist story, but split on the clunky combat and what many call one of the worst UIs in a point-and-click game.
