“A short and sweet game that I'd recommend. This game is more than just a walking simulator, and the closest I've seen to an adaptation of Neuromancer.”

“Walking simulator plus cyberpunk edition of layers of fear, but the gameplay is a huge mess, very annoying, don't buy it.”
“I have never hated a game so much in my entire life. Every single moment of this chaotic, confusing, glitchy, clunky mess was absolute torture. I DNF'd so many times but came back because I really can't leave something…”

“A haunting look at how deeply technology can erode our humanity.”
— a player, Steam review · 12 hrs played“Short and intense interactive movie (could be even bit shorter, some sequences of maze running were tiresome). Dystopian, depressive mood and quite nice story (simple but believable). +Hail to Rutger Hauer!”
— a player, Steam review · 8 hrs played“I was hesitant between a positive and a negative review, but finally I sticked to the only reason why I kept playing it until the end. It is Rutger Hauer.
