A Great Point & Click Adventure -
I played the demo a while ago and I was very much looking forward to diving into the full experience. The atmosphere and pixel-art style all did a great job of pulling me in and making me want to keep playing until the end. The gameplay is very much of the classic style: Find objects and use/combine them in ways that sometimes require obtuse logic in order to solve puzzles and progress. Over all, I found the game to be challenging but not impossible to complete without a walkthrough - though I did consult one a few times later in the game. There is a requirement that you do a good amount of backtracking and this did feel quite tedious a few times. This includes going back to other locations not just back and forth across different screens in the same location. The visuals are one area where this game really stands out for me - a cyberpunk universe with a pixel art style. There are enough details in the environments to make each area feel unique and immersive. I know pixel graphics are not everyone's favourite but I feel like the artists did a great job here in capturing that neon-saturated, rain-soaked cyberpunk feel. The soundtrack is amazing and added a lot to the atmosphere of the world. There is no voice acting here so expect to do a lot of reading. The story was pretty good - not amazing though. The ending seems to have disappointed some people. The tone of the game generally is pretty serious but there are moments where the sound design comes across as silly, such as a funny sound effect when interacting with an object in order to solves a puzzle. These are not game-breakers for me though and I was generally pretty engaged throughout. The main character starts out just looking for his girlfriend but as the game progresses there are some pretty big stakes at play in the overarching narrative. Very much worth checking out if you are a fan of the genre - a little dated (or nostalgic) in design but still a great experience over all.
