29 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game's story is generally well-received, featuring interesting characters and a compelling plot with some unexpected twists, though many players feel it is too short and leaves unresolved conflicts. The narrative effectively captures a cyberpunk atmosphere without being overly complex, and while the world-building is praised, some critiques highlight a lack of depth in gameplay mechanics and a reliance on fetch quests. Overall, the story is seen as a strong point, with a good balance of intrigue and clarity, making it a recommended experience for fans of narrative-driven games.
“The story and characters are pretty interesting; the characters are enjoyable, and the story has a bit of conspiracy and a surprising but welcomed plot twist in the end.”
“The story hits the sweet spot between not-too-long sci-fi over-the-top conspiracy and too-short indie story making no sense.”
“So, from the story aspect, I could say this game has a great plot, is not rushed, and features well-written dialogue.”
“The worst part of it is the story is too short; I thought it was only the end of act one because it ends with the start of the main conflict. I really hope the story is continued because it leaves a really big cliffhanger.”
“The story feels rushed and unfinished.”
“The combat is pretty basic but still fun; for me personally, there are too many fetch quests: go here to talk to a guy, go there to get an item for a guy, get an item to get a key, use the key for a puzzle, get another key to progress.”
