Dec. 2025

This game is an amazing, one-of-a-kind experience. Its very specific but undeniably cool visual presentation, combined with a gripping story full of intrigue and truly unique gameplay, creates an immersive experience that really drew me in. I also loved how, throughout the game, you constantly feel in control of your experience. From how you build your cyberdeck and choose your program suite to the "color of the hat" your hacker wears, so to speak, and the decisions you make along the way, everything feels meaningful and often has impactful consequences. Even though some missions were a bit rougher around the edges and required either a very specific approach or a bit of help from the RNG, most of them were very well designed and the gameplay never felt stale. All in all, it was an amazing ride that I’d highly recommend to anyone with a soft spot for thrillers with a dash of cyberpunk and sci-fi.

OMG This game is AMAZING!!! It's unlike anything else I've ever played. Its incredibly immersive which lends itself extremely well to the story. I was expecting a puzzle style game and did not expect how engrossed I would be playing as Data.

Oct. 2025

Building out the software and hardware modules for your deck, and then swapping them out to try a completely different approach to a particular puzzle was the highlight of the game for me, it becomes more of an open-ended techno-puzzler than at first glimpse. Also it doesn't pull any moral punches nor railroad or signpost what the "correct" choices should be during your adventure, you are on your own and have to own the consequences of whatever you choose. Pretty refreshing.

Please play this game. If not for the unique gameplay and presentation, then for the story and narrative approach.
