What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise the game's atmospheric storytelling and slow-burn narrative about a journalist confronting trauma tied to the Zodiac killer, with moody music that builds psychological tension effectively. However, they consistently criticize the repetitive gameplay loop of mundane tasks interrupted by stealth sections, poor AI that's either too easily fooled or unrealistically oblivious, and a disconnect between the premise and actual gameplay—there's surprisingly little detective work or puzzle-solving despite the investigative journalist setup.
Not what I expected, but it’s worth buying, especially when it’s on sale. The 1970s low-poly visual style gives the game a creepy atmosphere. The concept is interesting, but the investigating crime scenes through “live dreaming” is unusual. Also, the story and dream-therapy idea aren’t explained well enough to make everything feel meaningful.11 found this helpful
Had previously bought this game on my xbox a while ago. Now I bought it again on pc to see if it was as "okay" as i remember. First of all, the graphics are not bad. I dont really care much about graphics for games like this, and its not so bad as some people say it is. The soundtrack for this game is amazing and definitely really fits the vibe for this noir atmosphere. And the game is not that difficult at all. When you play it for the first time, it will be a little confusing, especially when finding clues and while avoiding the "Zodiac" at the same time. I'm pretty sure if you beat this game once or twice, then you'd probably know how to beat this game by the back of your head. The story is meh. There's three endings to this game (2 depressing endings and 1 happy ending), which im pretty happy with because then it adds more replay value to it. You get each ending based on the choices you make during this game, a little bit like telltale. I feel like the story isnt explained well at times, and can be puzzling, as things just arent explained well enough. You can certainly whats real and whats not a hallucination in this game, since the main character surely has a lot of dreams…2 found this helpful

very much of a slow burn but still a good game and story being told1 found this helpful
Hello to all video game enthusiasts; I hope you found this article useful. Despite its reasonable price, this game is definitely worth experiencing. Its gameplay is engaging—especially for those who enjoy uncovering truths within the game world—and the graphics are relatively good. Admittedly, the story isn't particularly strong; it’s not entirely lacking in substance, but while about 80% of it is well-executed, there was certainly room for improvement. Overall, the game is worth buying and serves as a great way to support its creators.
