20 of 67 sampled reviews raised it
Aditionally, while I was very satisfied by my ending, I feel like I would be chomping at the bit for any sequel/dlc/any other piece of media in this world.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
19 of 67 sampled reviews raised it
Evidently very inspired by games like Citizen Sleeper, it takes the shell/gameplay of that game and adapts it into it's own storytelling really well, with it's own very interesting tweaks made to give it an identity of it's own.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 67 sampled reviews raised it
The eccentric yet beautiful art style, the atmospheric soundtrack, the rich lore of the game, it all comes together to make a wonderful experience of the game’s genre.
