Overall I had a lot of fun with Sense – 不祥的预感: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story. It’s not a game that I’d usually play, but I’m so glad that I did. It does a tremendous job of getting that horror atmosphere right from the point that everything goes south.

Sense – A Cyberpunk Ghost Story Review
Sense – A Cyberpunk Ghost Story isn’t a bad game, it’s just not very good. Whilst the story is pretty good, and the setting of a horror story set within a Cyberpunk world is unique, it didn’t need it. The sci-fi element felt unnecessary as the game’s story is steeped in Eastern folklore. Controls can feel a little disjointed and the graphics are pretty sub-par. It’s not all bad though as the background images and cut scenes are fairly well designed. If you’re a fan of horror then give Sense a try, its story is arguably its strongest point. Unfortunately, there isn’t much else going for it.
0%Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story Review (Switch)
If the developers went back over it and polished it up a little more, it could go from mediocre to a solid horror game. Unfortunately with the game currently having a $19.99 price tag, I don’t think I could honestly recommend the game for that price.

Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story has a great atmosphere with an interesting storyline and subplots. The range of influences shown helps make what could have been just another horror game feel truly unique. My only issues were the simplicity of the puzzles and the crashes I encountered. If you can get past that, I truly think you’ll enjoy playing this game.
