July 2025

I had a great time playing Primordia a ways back and decided to see what else Wadjet had in their inventory. Found this little gem and gave it a shot because of an interesting dystopian cyberpunk setting and glorious reviews. I was not disappointed. After finishing the game and listening to the developer commentary I understand it started as a student project and is basically a one-man developed game. Very well done. The setting was interesting, the music was atmospheric, the story twisted and turned and the riddles were just the right kind of hard. Actually stumped me a few times, but that was more of a "didnt check that as much as I should", not the riddles being cryptic. It has its flaws and is not as good as Primordia, which is basically a masterpiece, but it was damn good for what it was. I was invested from start to finish. Kinda reminded me a little of Beneath a Steel Sky, and sometimes even The Dig. All in all a good time. I give it 5/5 Boryokudans.

I'm recommending the game, but only just. I have heard a lot of positive buzz about this game, so was a bit disappointed when I finally got around to playing it. It's obviously a small-budget one-man-band game, but that's not an issue for me personally. The story is good and interesting, and definitely the strong suit of the game. It wears its influences on its sleeve in a way I personally find quite charming as well. However, it does suffer from a lot of typical adventure game trappings. Part of it is the game's age- it came out before people realized things like pixel hunting were dumb and avoiding that became more standard practice- but there are some that I find to just be poor decisions. There are a number of puzzles with poor signposting or weird leaps of logic that make them frustrating to solve, and that combined with some pretty nasty bugs in the last 3rd of the game left me actually pretty checked out at the end, just following a walkthrough to see the story resolve, which I always hate to do with these kinds of games. In fact, the game took me a couple attempts over a few years to actually sit down and finish, as I kept getting annoyed at it and going off to play other things. Still glad I did stick with it, though.

Excellent game even though it could've been the hardest point and click I've played so far. The logic behind a few interaction-based puzzles were a bit abstract although I could imagine this being pretty subjective.

Dec. 2024

Another fun budget retro style point-and-clicky adventure produced by Wadget Eye. The soundtrack is amazing, but then again... so are all of Nathan Allen Pinard's. The game itself isn't too hard (the occasional pixel search) and reminds me of 'Beneath a Steel Sky'. I think the creator mentioned somewhere in one of the commentaries that he used Blade Runner as an insipration for the game's setting, though I don't get any BR vibes out of it. Technobabylon gave those vibes, but that's a different game from a different author.

Dec. 2024

5/10 Difficulty: Hard Puzzles: built to confuse. no chance for me w/o a walkthrough Shooting: difficulty/fun level: medium Story: enjoyable yet I feel a bit confused Vibe: very Beneath a Steel Sky-esque Rooms look a lot alike, color palette is grey/olive with not a lot of contrast happening Game mechanics are a bit overly complicated but ok Animations are ok, sprites are kinda small though, scrolling leads to very jerky movement End is short but ok Won't replay
