Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
195 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
TL;DR — A time-travel point & click done right: retro 70s sci-fi mood, smart “past ↔ future” puzzles, gorgeous clean visuals, and a story that keeps pulling you forward.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
87 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s classic point & click logic, but with a genuinely satisfying time mechanic that keeps the puzzles feeling fresh.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visuals unlike anything I've seen in any other point 'n' click game, coupled with music and ambient noise 'n' sound effects that completely sell you on the world of it.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
-Voice acting was decent but some characters (police officer) i feel could have been done better.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
They are the right type of difficulty for a fun few hours!
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Everything is readable, luminous, and polished—characters stand out, environments guide your eye, and you’re never fighting the interface.
