Summary

Lose yourself in the dystopian world of New York, 2329; immortality comes at a price that someone has to pay. In this interactive noir story, lead the investigation using advanced technology, as Detective James Karra who risks it all in pursuit of a serial killer targeting the city’s elite.

for an indie game it has a interesting concept and ideas but i feel they could've made it better. Anything other than the atmosphere and artstyle needs more time in the oven

like it's literally a glorified walking simulator (i mean it in a good way) the actual detective gameplay is just pressing buttons like you don't even need to do anything there's no mystery or something you have to solve out yourself without the game already telling you what to do but other than that i think the price is justified and there's a good story to experience here

Both endings are meaningless and they don't bring the story to a proper end and conclusion; nevertheless, this is a unique experience and I recommend it for anyone loving crime genre.

I really love the theme of transhumanism and the psychological toll immortality has on the society. I really wish there were more games working this angle.

The story for the major part feels like a detective cliche, wheere the detective had an accident, and instead of taking a break, wants to continue working. Although, the whole immortality thing, gives the story a whole new angle.

I think the game tries to guide you a little bit too much, which made me turn off my brain during the detective work parts. I would have appreciated having to solve the bits myself. Also, its one of the few futuristic-themed games with flying cars and you can't control the cars.

An interesting choice, was the fact that if you took one decision, you had to stick with it and couldn't change it by loading a different save. While this might frustrate people, I think it's the right way to use in-game choices as it relates more to real life.

Graphics on the other hand are amazing. They do feel a bit Bioshock-like, but I think that works. The endless city and the interiors are really well crafted.

Not what I expected from the screenshots etc but this is a really great linear mystery/crime solving game. Art design is really great and voice work is pretty good.

Some bits of the gameplay can get a little repetitive but at 5 hours it's easy to get through.

games like this just need to fuck up the ending for some reason. if you don't know how to write a good story with a solid ending, just fucking make a jump and run game or something.

Despite how good the overall game was, it ends at a cliffhanger, kind of...I hate cliffhangers.
