Overview: A cyberpunk point-and-click thriller.
20171223: (AM Hours)
I tried playing, but I was too sleepy and decided to close the game and go to sleep. 1:01AM PT
Steam Game Time: 8 minutes
20171223:
I woke up and started playing the game while in my bed. However, I would still occasionally drift off to sleep. Eventually I got up out of bed and played (without falling asleep) until the start of Chapter 1: I went to Stardust but did not yet talk to TOMCAT.
The opening narrator had a strange voice, but I liked the voice of Turing. Furthermore, Turing has a cheerful disposition that gives the game a good vibe.
Steam Game Time: 90 minutes
Thoughts:
Pros:
+ Promising story
+ Turing's voice
Neutral:
~ Many object interactions with text.
Minor Con:
- The game allows the player to enter his/her name but the voice over is incapable of reading the name. Possible solutions include having some default names or a system for pronouncing any name.
Cons:
- Sometimes too much text, even for me.
- Lacked an appeal that some other point-and-clicks have.
Summary:
While I only completed the prologue, the game had an interesting start. With that being said, I'd sooner play a new point-and-click or revisit other point-and-clicks which I've started in the past. Consequently, I don't have any recommendations to make for the game.
At the time of this blog post, users on Metacritic either love or hate the game.
