It's just kind of all around fun - well-designed. Tactical decisions (positioning, movement, etc.) matter. The graphics are good enough, definitely for the zoomed out view. The sound design is superb. The story is fine, if straight-forward. The full price of 40eur felt like a bit much to me at launch, but with the addition of career mode, maybe it's OK. You will definitely get a lot of hours out of the game. :v I would suggest to try and get it at reduced price with the expansion(s) because it seems like they are using the latter for stuff that should be in the game but didn't fit the budget. I think it's fair. NB: The multiplayer is cross-platform, that's why they use a Paradox account.
Game seems nice, though...
Another reviewer wrote "very derivative" and I think that captures it. The story and its "shocking revelations" are predictable and include some plot holes. The visual style is clearly greatly inspired by The Swapper, as is the "mysterious girl talking over the radio" structure. Also as another review states, the anti-science/technology subtext and simplistic morals are disappointing. Mechanically, the puzzles are OK as far as you can expect. Find all clickables, combine some, use key with lock. It does get boring, so it's good that the game isn't very long... All that said, the looks and ambience are well-done. I enjoyed reading the descriptive texts of various objects/scenes.
