Less than the sum of its parts
Summary: As others say, this is style over substance. The parts of the game -- the setting, the art, the music, the characters, the plot -- should've led to a better game. Instead, it's incoherent. Half of the game is actually fairly good, with standard P&C puzzles. The rest is a mess, with very random "puzzles", excessive backtracking. A word on the pixel art: Superficially, it looks good. However, there are three big problems: 1 - The animation is poor (e.g. the main character never moves his head when walking) 2 - There is no scaling, yet perspective is used - this means objects visually grow in size when they move away from the camera; or it's overly done, like the floating heads in the slums scene 3 - Sprites and scrolling is not locked to pixels, making it look very jarring Positives: - Decent length of game-play with different scenes - Music has a unique style (for games) - Pixel art is superficially good - There are enjoyable sections of the game, with thought-provoking comments on our modern society Negatives: - The characters are all obnoxious - Writing is clunky - The puzzles often make no sense - characters suddenly offer new dialogue choices with nothing to explain why they would Meh, not great, but can live with: - Lack of voice acting - It's often hard to tell who's speaking in dialogue - The music becomes bland, with little variation in the use of synths, and gets in the way of the game at times - Derivative elements (such as a rainy city with an Oriental/US mix, like Blade Runner)
