Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.

Very Positive · 84%2020

US Steam price, checked 1 h ago

The verdict

A grim, gorgeous cyberpunk horror walking sim with a great Rutger Hauer performance. Skip it if strobing visuals, nausea, or long trippy mind-dive sequences bother you.

Great for

Cyberpunk and SOMA fans who like slow, atmospheric, story-driven psychological horror

Main risk

Strobing, shaking visuals and endless mind-dive sequences cause nausea or boredom

What changed in the last 30 days

Recent negative reviews cite dull psychedelic sequences, shallow detective gameplay and shader-compilation stutter. Positive reviews also mention bugs. Reasons are not tied to a single patch, so confidence is low.

What players love

Oppressive cyberpunk atmosphere

Mentioned in ~2 in 5 positive reviews

“I really appreciate how grim and visceral the atmosphere is, with the unending haphazardous wiring, exposed electronics and walls caked with filth and blood.”
