There are echoes of Blade Runner in the mix of shabby run down environs and gleaming high tech labs, with a soundtrack that delivers on the premise of each location, be it industrial ambience or electronic bounce.

It’s also a nice touch that whenever a character is talking a lovely pixel art style portrait is displayed, giving a more detailed representation of that person, complete with a range of different expressions.

I felt the difficulty of the puzzles was for the most part actually spot on, despite what some other reviews say.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The character design is very good and the story has some great and unexpected twists - and it is the first adventure game that I ever finished because besides getting me hooked, it had no situation in which I got so stuck that I had to relate to a walkthrough.
