The game's story features a single-thread narrative that takes unexpected turns, complemented by a mission-based structure reminiscent of Uplink. While the main story can be completed in about 4-5 hours, players can choose to engage with optional missions that offer substantial rewards, enhancing the overall experience. However, there is no post-game content, which may leave some players wanting more after the campaign.
- “There is a single-thread story which surprisingly went in a different direction than I expected, but there is no post-game content.”
- “There is a story campaign to follow like in Uplink, but much like Uplink, this can easily be left aside if you want to go about upgrading at your own pace.”
- “The story missions are optional, but most come with some good rewards.”

- “The soundtrack perfectly complements the game's atmosphere, making every moment feel more engaging.”
