The soundtrack is moody and oppressive, filled with haunting ambient tracks and industrial sounds that reflect the Ministry's cold, emotionless efficiency.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Being a game in the dystopian genre, the gameplay manages to almost perfectly match the environment, with working on the lower floors being a grueling task, with very little progress being made towards quests, while working on the higher floors being much easier and giving you much more progress towards objectives.
