What players say
Short narrartive about identity and memory. A fun bit of body horror although with a touch of cosmic horror. Got on sale, which I'd recommend for the amount of content. Content is delivered in interesting ways, albeit most if not all is reading. Unique piece of art, happy to have played it.

Short, linear, but an abject haymaker of queer cyberpunk horror. Dense with concepts and ideas that are none chilling enough without the intricate graphic visceral imagery but it all ices the cake to make what should be a new standard in psychological horror.
Cool cyberpunk thriller, but without any gameplay and filled with random lgbt propaganda, just like Epstein would like.
