Game closes all the time, in weird questionnaire before main menu when too slow but also when trying to exit first level. Unplayable, too bad. :(

I usually try to 100% a game before writing it a review, but several achievements are not obtainable due to issues with connecting to servers online; the game crashes about a minute in if your wifi isn't turned off.

A stark monochrome palette dominates the environments, but it is layered with subtle textures, bold geometry, and sharp contrasts that perfectly reflect the cyber-noir theme. Combined with its atmospheric electronic soundtrack, the game immerses players in a world that feels both clinical and unsettling. The audio deserves special mention, with moody synths and pulsing rhythms that enhance tension and provide an al…
