Beautiful art with interesting ideas
The game is beautiful in terms of lights and colors. It's really refreshing to walk around and try to catch every details. You clearly feels that the dev put all their soul in this game. Mastered pixel art.
The story is classic but never predictable. Some great ideas are developed here, like the part with cats. In cyberpunk game we usually focus on the human life style impact. I liked the idea to see how the "animal" world would change.
As for the game mechanics, they do the job. You will have to solve puzzles, something under time constraint, to progress and resolve the case. Various gameplay are present, maybe not exploited to their maximum. You can analyze object with a detective view, you have some basic craft (you can only built what is necessary to your progression in the story), you have side quests you can choose not to do, you can play as a cat ! When you have collected all the clues in a crime scene, you will have a collection a gears to put on a pocket watch to rebuild the crime. There are some shoot phases where basically the cursor move and you have to press a key when it's in the right zone. Finally you have environmental puzzles. In the end is a calm game where you read a lot, observe and solve riddles by walking through beautiful pixel art panel.
Some BlackSpot : if you want to understand fully the world you will have a lot to read. If you're not a big reader, then you will miss a lot. Also, if you're not an expert in english (or chinese) you may have some troubles to follow...
A really cool game with amazing pixel art and a good cyberpunk story. If you like riddles and reading this is the game for you.
