Artstyle is beautiful and unique - it reminds me of Disco Elysium set in Hotline Miami I love it. - 9/10Music is a solid vibe back to the 80s, definitely delivers a well thought out and performed soundtrack - 9/10Gameplay and mechanics are easy to pickup and clearly explained, at this early point it feels like a game thats easy to learn but hard to master.

Perhaps the best part of the game is the strong 80’s vibe that it gives through its writing and its synth-wave graphics and soundtrack.
