Gameplay features a tutorial NPC for a specific mechanic, but its limited application to only one area raises questions. While some mechanics show promise, they require refinement, and players may need to adjust graphics settings to ensure visibility.
“There's a tutorial NPC for this mechanic out in the city, but she's off to the side in some alleyway.”
“Why is there suddenly a moving objects mechanic in only one area of the entire game?”
“A few of the mechanics could use some work, and the graphics need to be played on low; otherwise, you won't be able to see at all.”

“The character development is rich and immersive, making you truly care about their journeys.”
“The narrative is beautifully crafted, weaving together various plot threads in a way that feels both satisfying and thought-provoking.”
“The abysmal camera causes motion sickness, bad controls, and almost non-existent clues that should help you progress in the story, leaving you with no idea of where to go or what to do.”
“Some clues aren't even present until certain story triggers, but as a player, you have no way of knowing that.”
