The game's story concept is intriguing, but players report significant issues with execution, including poor controls and a lack of clear guidance, leading to frustrating gameplay experiences. While some appreciate the storyline and the developer's responsiveness, many feel that the missions are unpolished and can leave players stuck, detracting from the overall enjoyment. Overall, the narrative has potential but requires more content and refinement to fully engage players.
“I really like this game; it is one of the better hacking games on Steam at the moment. The storyline is really good, and I will be trying to complete the game soon after playing. On another plus side, the developer is really nice and very responsive to any changes you might suggest and to fix any bugs you might find.”
“And if the story is made longer, and more content is added, it'd be perfect.”
“Even if I haven't completed the first mission, 10 percent of the game already seems completed.”
“The idea is cool, but the game was poorly made with weird controls and almost no explanations. You can get stuck on a single mission because they expect you to do something that you didn't know was possible.”
“The first three missions were more than enough to 'break me', as it is horribly unpolished.”
“The third mission is where the pieces fell apart even more than the first two missions; the game just wouldn't let me pass.”
