Recent reviews

Cyberpunk noir is one of my favorite underexplored genres. However, it wasn't done justice here. The actual plot is very barebones, and I felt like nothing MC does even affects anything, and that their reason for being MC at all is weak and underexplained. The supporting cast is not fleshed out at ALL, and even MC lacks development. The story is also incredibly short. Ultimately not worth the price, a big letdown.

N ***** 2023-09-16

The premise was great but after the first chapters, it completely falls off. The dialogue is bland at best and robotic at worst. Characters seem to "bond" with the player based on maybe 2 interactions and are locked away if not chosen with no way to retry later in the story. The climax of the story is incredibly strange and had barely anything to do with what had been happening so far so much so that it feels as if it was the easiest way for the author to get the story done and over with. 3/10
