Strong start, but gets a bit repetitive
Interesting and quite well done game, especially for those who like "film noir" and, of course, cthulhu. It starts out very strong and interesting, but once you´ve solved the first case, and got used to the mechanics, you also start seeing it´s flaws. Flaws like massive re-use of assets (you´ll find the same cars, houses and objects over and over again), immersion-breaking flaws in world building (why is the building flooded outside, but not inside?), and the lack of consequences and world interaction in general. While it´s an "open world", you can´t enter most of the buildings, and there is absolutely nothing to gain by roaming the streets! But the "detective" and storytelling aspect is where it shines. It really creates a dense and foetid atmosphere. Looks and plays a bit too dated to justify the 40+€ imho, but I got my almost 25h of fun out of it!

Better than I expected
Love the writting and charecters, this is closest to lovecraft novels I experienced in video games. Gameplay has its lows -combat, overused same assets, not enough to do in open world city, crafting and skill points are meaningless in second half of the game - but the game loop is highly engaging - fights, detective work, exploration - I enjoyed every minut in this world and I know no other game that gave me similiar experience.

Feels half finished
The game feels like it's halfway done, like it's in late alpha or early beta. There are a lot of issues with textures and sizes of textures in the environment, the monsters are not well thought out, the game seems to lack any method of combat that doesn't involve firearms (at least in the early stages once you are past the intro). It's just dark, constantly foggy, with vast largely empty environments with little direction on where to go and how to proceed. I didn't make it very far it to be fair. It's just not particularly engaging in the state that it is in.
