[DEVELOPPEURS DU DIMANCHE] On aime : - la partie énigmes - les doublages en VO - la gestion des équipements On regrette : - une chapitre final complètement raté et bien trop difficile - des minijeux peu intéressants - un manque d'équilibrage navrant Conclusion : J'étais bien parti pour le finir et lui donner un avis positif malgré ses nombreux défauts, car il était assez attachant. Mais le dernier chapitre a eu raison de moi, et je n'ai pas pu finir les 2 derniers gros combats qui se succèdent sans nous laisser la moindre chance... J'ai pourtant analysé comme j'ai pu les solutions et j'ai essayé au mieux, mais c'était trop dur pour moi et je n'ai pas 10H devant moi pour faire le même combat pour gagner sur un coup de dé. Dommage...

Damn, some of the reviews are kinda harsh. I went in expecting a mild experience based on what I read but I actually had a blast, this game is pretty fun and creative. tl;dr: Don't let negative reviews turn you away, the game isn't groundbreaking but it's still very fun, specially if its style pulled you in. Its main selling point is quite clearly the audiovisual presentation: the game is very stylish, which can be seen immediately in the trailer and game intro. The soundtrack is completely original and frequently shifts from a jazzy mystery noir to an action-pumping synthwave. The voice acting is professional (though I've seen complaints about the accent from British players). The missions and scenarios are very well designed, there's very little to no pixel hunting in the point-n-click parts. Everything is consistent and works well together, so if this is what drew you in, you're in for a treat. The biggest complaint for most players seems to be the combat. It's similar to a JRPG: it's turn based and mostly just requires managing resources like health, action points and items. There are additional mechanics like weaknesses that stun (like Persona), action points being shared between combat and exploration (pretty cool actually, can be punishing if you're bad, but the point economy is pretty simple to abuse specially with certain skills), and sanity. On that last point, if your character's sanity is low enough (easily avoided with items), a time limit is introduced during their turn, which means you can lose a turn by being slow. Naturally this is somewhat of a controversial design decision as players might not expect to have to act fast in a turn based game, which is made worse by a specific fight forcing zero sanity, giving split seconds to react. Personally, I thought this was a non-issue, this game isn't very challenging and wasting a turn or two is no big deal, but I understand the frustration, so if this bothers you maybe have a look at a gameplay video just to be sure. I thought the combat was just ok, it worked well enough but it wasn't very satisfying. Some boss fights might be tough if you leveled up poorly, or didn't explore thoroughly for items, but I think that's just part of the game, you're not supposed to fumble your way to victory. Everything else including exploration, puzzles, minigames, they're simple and functional enough to not detract from the main experience. I didn't even need a guide to get all achievements in my first playthrough. As for the plot, it's set in a dystopian near-future London and features a short story about a conspiracy. More importantly, each main character has a very distinct and authentic personality, and we see the beginnings of interesting plot points for each of them, but unfortunately the game is so short that we barely get a glimpse of their backstory or any sort of character development. For instance, what happened to Frank's debt? Guess I'm never finding out, as I doubt this game will ever see a sequel, even though the game's ending strongly hints at one. Regardless, I had a very good time with this game, and I don't think it deserves some of the reviews it got, so here's my two cents.

This game is incredible until the final boss that is absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

qué juego tan de mierda de verdad que solamente un imbecil o un masoquista le podria gustar, honestamente qué carajos estoy haciendo con mi puta vida

Turn-based heist story.

A unique RPG blending turns both in investigation and combat set in a dystopian London. The art, story and VA are good, although if you are looking for in depth combat you'll have to keep looking, it's quite simple and unbalanced. The only bug I found was with savefiles after first chapter, for some reason, naming screws up and it's hard to follow if you make multiple, saves themselves are fine. Game is quite short, around 10-15h depending on speed Definitely worth a try in a sale, it was worth my time.

Lo disfruté de principio a fin. Tiene una muy buena historia y personajes. Me encantó el sistema de combate, incluyendo algunos jefes que pueden ser algo difíciles de vencer, pero no imposibles. Mención especial a las ilustraciones, al arte gráfico y a cómo logran resolver las secuencias de cada escena con animación limitada.

Short point and click adventure with JRP style battle. Debuffs and buffs are to speciel in all the stats they change otherewise a good game.
