Just a pretty bad game overall
As others have mentioned the controls in this game are terrible. They're slow, they're counter-intuitive, and they aren't any better regardless of input method. I tried using the keyboard, point and click, and a gamepad and all three options were just as clunky. The game is also very short it took me about 4 hours to complete the game even with getting stuck retrying a terrible arcade sequence several times. Though the game card boasts of multiple endings there are only two that are solely determined by a decision at the end of the game, there is no replay value there, nothing else during done during the game changes the outcomes as far as I can tell. As I previously mentioned, I got stuck on a couple of the arcade sequences. They were incredibly difficult, not because of the games difficulty, but because of the terrible controls. The game is actually very easy outside of the artificial difficulty presented by the bad control scheme. I really wanted to like this game. It started out very promising with its atmosphere and initial presentation, but it just got let down by the bad controls and terrible arcade sequences that just make you want to quit in frustration. The parts of the game that are closer to the adventure game genre were actually fun. Had they made a game that was solely built around that with more sneaking around and espionage gameplay like in some parts and if it were longer with a more fleshed out story this game could have been a four star game.
