story
12 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story presents a typical cyberpunk narrative with JRPG elements, focusing on espionage and corporate conspiracies led by a mercenary protagonist. However, it suffers from pacing issues, with early chapters feeling like extended tutorials and an abrupt ending that leaves several plot threads unresolved. Despite this, the varied settings and unfolding mysteries keep the story engaging for players.
“By progressing the story, you will unveil conspiracies, dark secrets, and crimes that the megacorps want to keep hidden.”
“Once you go through the story, you are led into several levels/stages that vary from typical espionage high-story offices, to half-destroyed and scorched laboratories, and even church catacombs.”
“The story has some pacing issues (there are four chapters and the first two feel like extended tutorials) and the story unfortunately ends right as it's getting interesting, with a fair amount of plot threads left hanging.”
