Our Review
Both the mechanics and the story have potential, but unfortunately, there are too many layers on top that end up killing the experience, making it uncomfortable and unenjoyable. The moments with less bugs become pleasant and you can see that there is a job well done and many good ideas, but considering the current state of the game, it is impossible for me to recommend it to anyone. If it catches your attention, I would tell you to stay alert and follow him to see if they solve all these problems, and then get hold of him.
