What players say

Amazing story, but personally felt a little to long, it plays like it should be a sit down once type of game, but being someone that doesn't have that type of time, i had to take breaks, and it killed the story immersion for me. movement was a bit clunky at times, but its not no fps game.

I bought this game only it's made by Czech developer and I wasn't expecting much. Actually I was expecting very poor scan of real Czech places and their recreation in to virtual world. My surprise was huge when I found I was wrong. Virtual world quite good - definitely much better then I expected. Story seems also quite good but since I did not yet finish the game I can't be sure it will last till end.
