    So I watched the quick look and because I have next to none experience with this "old school" kind of adventure games I decided to go for it and bought it. I am big sci-fi fan and this game was very good, great story. But the mood was the main thing for me, I definetelly recomend it.

    It took me two sittings to finish, probably about 6-7 hours total (experienced players will be able to finish it much quicker, there were a few instances I got stuck and I refused to look up the solutions online).

    I would buy it if it was on Steam. No idea why it isn't.

    @MisterChief:  I believe the creator is looking into getting it onto Steam eventually. However, buying it from Wadjet site means the dev gets 100% of the profits, so that's probably why he hasn't done it yet.

    Took you guys long enough. I'm lucky to have been tracking it since prior to the release in January.

    This is partially true. They are trying to get onto Steam. I believe there's a petition to be found on either the Wadjet site or Joshua's blog. Either way, Wadjet splits the profits between them and all parties involved, so the creator Joshua doesn't get 100%of profits anymore. But that's somewhat irrelevant, everyone should pick this up now. It's pointless to wait to get it on Steam, since you can just get it now and it'd be the exact same game..

    I'm playing through this now after seeing the quick look and trying the demo. So incredibly happy that I found out about this. Most definitely my favourite game this year thus far.

    Even went and bought the soundtrack on iTunes.

    Yep it's pretty awesome. Heavily inspired by Blade Runner but it still has a great story and setting.

    Props for not looking up the solutions. You're actually ment to get stuck in point and click adventrue games. It's part of the fun to have to figure things out.

    I've finished. I enjoy it a lot. Great setting, great story, great characters. Puzzles are accessible. The only flaw may be the shooting sequences. Although they're a bit janky, they are easy to get through so not as a serious flaw. A great point n click adventure game. I recommend it.


    @ectoplasma: Except when you have to kick the muck. Fuck that.

    @MisterChief: I think they tried to get it on Steam, but it was rejected for having too low resolution.
