A branching narrative where you balance training and moral choices in an alien gladiator contest, driven by your decisions.

What players say

Players say the game ends abruptly and most choices feel like they do not matter. Many find the characters cliche and the story less interesting than the first game. There is disagreement, some appreciate it as a middle chapter in a planned trilogy.
