About
Limited color palette, monochrome sprites, CRT monitor glow, and even text mode—the graphic style is inspired by ZX Spectrum, Commodore, Apple, MSX, Atari, and MS-DOS games in CGA and EGA modes.
Rooms and map for each mission are procedurally generated. Each playthrough is unique as the buildings vary greatly. The structure of buildings is also random. For example, the first floor might be located on different sides of a river or highway, and the connection will be on the upper floors. Or some parts of the building might be a narrow high-rise tower.
The main objective of each mission is to play all the damaged arcade machines. More than 100 different short mini-games are launched on them. From platformers to legendary titles like Arkanoid, Xonix, Digger, and Snake.
To start an arcade, you need a token. Tokens can be obtained from cashiers for coins. Coins are loot.
For each completed arcade, you receive a reward in the form of two random cartridges. Cartridges enhance skills, provide weapons, and endow abilities. By combining cartridges in a deck, you can take down the toughest monsters. Combining two cartridges creates a higher-level cartridge.
The number of cartridges in the deck is determined by the detective's rank. You can complete each arcade without any hassle. Or you can collect all the stars and complete all the tasks—to earn much more experience. Experience allows you to increase the detective's rank and expand the deck size.
Approach a computer terminal to switch to "Neo-N" mode for 15 seconds. In this mode, the player is invulnerable: you can quickly take out monsters around you. Hidden passages in walls also become visible.

Reviews
An interesting game. Not exactly ground breaking, but for those of us of a certain age and/or proclivity, it certainly manages to tickle the retro vibes. I love the ZX Spectrum style graphics / blended with jaw dropping visual effects. The dev is master of ASCII aesthetics :) The game loop is simple enough. Wander around the stage, look for an arcade machine. Enter a mini game, which is usually a platformer, free runner or boss fight; with fiendish puzzles and precise timing traps. Collect cartridges (cards) - use these to empower the mullet sporting protagonist - stack carts to increase the power of each upgrade. Collect coins to buy credits, to play more arcade games - repeat. Exfil using the chopper once all games on a level are bested. Quirky garish fun. Very nice - 7.5 / 10 (music is retro-cool as well)
Очень стильная игра, как впрочем и другие творения разработчика. Приклоняюсь, снимаю шляпу! Помимо крутого ретро визуала, геймплей так же в духе игр из детства бумеров. Купил, играю и рад что есть такие игры и такие разработчики!
