This was a nice adventure. More than ever, I appreciate the immense effort it takes for a solo or small developer to deliver a complete story and game.
The gameplay is retro-style in a good way. I'm not nostalgic—I usually prefer modern adventure games—but the developer skillfully blends modern narrative priorities with old-school puzzle solving. The key difference is that the puzzles are more compact and faster to understand, avoiding the clutter of too many hotspots per scene. This results in good pacing, which is just right for a detective story.
It's simple sci-fi; the future is little more than a backdrop for (currently) unrealistic events, but that's perfectly fine. Eve is a likable character, even if she's basically a male P.I. trope with... female assets? Think of the original Lara Croft, but Eve has a better sense of humor and less money.
Yes, there are AI voices, and they are bad. However, you somehow get used to them. It reminded me of the awful dubbing in games from years ago, which oddly amplified the retro feeling—that bittersweet sensation, like a guilty pleasure.
The graphics are basic, but they're still cool because they fit the project's scope, and you know they were made by the same person who did everything else.
My review is positive. You just need to go in knowing this is a no-budget game, and you'll find it's still perfectly enjoyable.
