Visually interesting set pieces. But that's about it. Worth a shot if you can stomach the jank... There's... quite a bit of jank...
ok... first... i hate the ******* puzzles. buuuuuuuut , the story is good, the music is good, the overall game is really good. game is really short, voice acting is really bad. at full price never.. in sales , grab it.
Many people compare this game to HP Lovecraft and Cyberpunk. I say it matches better to Philip K. ♥♥♥♥'s work. There aren't really much horror or eldritch abomination elements. However it does fit better for surrealism, escapism, mind screw, and sci-fi.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

This game is not for everyone, I found the story interesting but opend ended and could really to with expanding who you and your friends are and why we should care, the world is nicely weird, But yea I enjoyed it, It's a decent short walking sim adventure with some puzzels that can confuse, but you will find you are missing the clear hint provided and fell for the red herring (or overlooked somethng interactable). Some areas you are able to explore and find items for achevemments but most areas A to B zones.
Крайне тощая, затюканная индюшка с высосанным из пальца сюжетом, спекулирующем на приставке "мета", которую где теперь только не суют - добавьте сюда еще скучнейшие паЗЗЗлы(да-да, Вам придется играть в пятнашки) и нудный геймплей из бесконечно повторяющихся действий!!! Однозначно НЕ рекомендую!!!
this was really broken and i couldn't get very far before being softlocked, the story also (from what i was able to experience of it) felt relatively nonsensical and poorly thought out
Hola a todos, el juego esta bien, es una idea bastante buena, te puede volar la cabeza por momentos, esta bien optimizado, se ve bien, te plantea buenos retos, entretenido, lo unico que le veo mal es que dura poco y que se vuelve algo lineal, y aun asi, cuesta algunos logros, el nuevo final de diez jajaja.
Сеттинг - мой вайб. Оккультный киберпанк - это мой личный сорт вдохновения. Ассеты, статуэтки интересно рассматривать. Но это игра не массовая. Я бы её сравнила со Scorn по уровню созерцания и размышления о созерцаемом. Есть в ней и явные шероховатости, которые мне доставляют геймерский дискомфорт, то топорность управления персонажем, неочевидность и затупы того, куда что нажать, несколько раз приходилось искать подсказки в интернете, в обсуждениях центра сообщества, в видеозаписях прохождения. Может у меня не хватает терпения и/или интеллекта для таких ребусов.
i really wanted to give it a try, but it lacks. There are bugs where sometimes you just cant move and you have to restart the chapter just to get through it. You cant really save the game, or in specific moment/area in a chapter, so next time you come back to play; you need to do everything in that chapter again. There are no explanations regarding the mini games, i got stuck in chapter 2 where you get locked in a corridor and you send a flying ball to help hack it for you but for the life of me i couldn't understand what to do, the other problem is that whenever i search for information on the web, there are no results about the game. Just overall experience isn't great and i gave up, its a shame because i really like these types of games.
Очень жаль видеть такие неутешительные отзывы на две последние игры от моего любимого разработчика. Эта игра мне так же понравилась меньше, чем прошлые три, но дело скорее не в том, что она халтурна. Все составляющие на месте: загадочный гг, атмосферный мир, интересные загадки, красивые локации, запутанный сюжет. Просто киберпанк меня не сильно вдохновляет. Однако, игра определенно заслуживает хорошей оценки. И я ее планирую перепроходить.
