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 valuable 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 game's soundtrack features mellow minimalist new-wave themes that are technically sound, but the music restarts every time players enter or exit sub-menus, leading to a repetitive listening experience. This repetitiveness has prompted some players to turn off the music entirely while still enjoying the game.
- “The music in the game is incredibly immersive and enhances the overall experience.”
- “Each track is well-composed and fits perfectly with the game's atmosphere.”
- “The soundtrack is diverse and keeps the gameplay feeling fresh and engaging.”
- “However, the music restarts every single time one enters or exits each necessary sub-menu during gameplay.”
- “Because one only hears the first ten seconds of each tune, the music quickly became too onerously repetitious for me.”
- “One complaint: the soundtrack is not technically bad for mellow minimalist new-wave themes.”
