Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
161 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Your choices often feel impactful and meaningful (even though sometimes the game is just very good at making you think they are), the characters are memorable and well written, and there’s also a fair amount of genuinely funny humor sprinkled throughout the experience.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I love everything even remotely “retrowave-y” / “vaporwave-y” / 80s-90s-inspired, and this game absolutely nails that aesthetic with its pink-and-blue neon palette, pristine vintage tech, soundtrack, and overall atmosphere, so I may be a bit biased.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
73 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I really enjoyed the puzzles you had to piece together to save the other characters in the town by looking around the KFAM building, and its a gameplay loop that doesn't get easily repetitive.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The stylized visuals favor bold colors, neon lighting, and thick shadows that contribute to the uneasy tone without relying on traditional horror gimmicks.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The "puzzles" are fun to solve with good level of difficulty and diversity.
