A very climatic adventure game with tons of collectibles about historical Warsaw. The environment and storyline are pushing the overall score to 10/10, while character progress and fighting are dragging it down to 7/10. Side-quests were my favorite part of the game - nice writing there, mates!

Graphic is just enough. Nothing too bad, nothing too good. It's unique, which makes you forget about issues here and there.

...

Some notes after finishing the first playthrough:
- Please rework the character skill-tree to be more meaningful to the story and distinctive. Right now, I just dump my exp into some characteristics, which do not really impact anything. Having a high Heart gives access to better skills and some dialogue options, but so do others. Give me a real choice that describe my character's progress. Disco Elysium might be a good inspiration on how to make interesting character development even in a completely non-fighting game.
- Please, remove 90% of unnecessary fights. Even though they are dynamic, they are boring. This game looks like it is advertising a punch in the face as the best option to resolve any situation. I get the idea, but sometimes less is better.
- Majority of quests are tagged as time-limited, which makes the unnecessary feel of urgency. Please tone it down, or explain better how the time passes.
- Some QoL around finding clues on the streets, that not require using the 6th sense constantly?
- Do I really have to collect everything? Exp is necessary to get skills and then salutors, which are needed to get better salutors and some advantages during dialogues. It's the GET THAT DAMN POSTCARD all the way, isn't it?

Overall, the game lacks depth in its current state, but it is a perfect ground for improvement. I expect more from this world. DLC's with new engaging stories or new iterations of thaumaturges. Let me pick myself a salutor and a flaw, and put me in the middle of some interesting drama.
Thanks!
