I bought this game on some previous steam sale but it had sat forgotten about until this past weekend. So I gave it a download and then I couldn't stop playing it until I was done.

This game was clearly someone's passion project. Its very well polished and it does retro in all the right ways. The pixel graphics and audio work fantastically to depict this 80's esque cyperpunk story. The writing and story itself are well done and kept me guessing until the end. It feels like it's some where between blade runner and shadowrun with a candy coating of anime to tie it all together.

The only real complaint I have is the limit in interactivity. This is by no means a sierra point and click game, most puzzles (what few their are) are either straight forward or wont let you leave the current screen until you've solved it leaving this more like a semi-guided visual novel. That didnt put too much of a damper on things as I made my way through the 6 hour or so story but it may put off some that expect a little more problem solving in a point and click adventure.

I don't know if I can recommend this at its full price point (unless your a big fan of retro) but on sale I'd say it's worth the price of admission.
