What players say

Players praise the atmospheric weather effects and unique 80s-inspired visuals, but the game is nearly unplayable at launch due to repeated crashes in the opening car scene and a lack of any save system. Reviews split between those who see a promising concept and those who cannot even get past the first few minutes.
