Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
i only have played the intro so far, so I will review this edit in due time once I play through chapter 1. what I played was a fantastic example of indie games that are so incredibly individualistic to the creator, that the aesthetics can coincide perfectly with the gameplay. an indulgence in the hyper-masculine fantasy of being a vigilante figure in a lawless land with heavy critiques on capitalism and consumerism as a whole. the dialogue is so clearly written by someone who spends a lot of time online, in the best way possible. it embraces its edge and i love it for that.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The art style is very nice, but from my opinion needs to be more rounded in shading and some more animations the characters from time to time felt flat and emotionless with did take from some immersion.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11/10 demo, it takes a vibe that's been missing from games, comical dialogue, a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BANGER of a soundtrack, and hidden secrets galore and throws it into one fantastic instance of worldbuilding.
