The verdict
A tight, witty noir stealth-puzzler built on rewiring buildings, with a great soundtrack and many solutions per level. It's only a few hours long, so skip it if you want length or replay value at full price.
Great for
Fans of short, witty puzzle-stealth games who enjoy creative experimenting and a jazzy noir mood
Main risk
Only about 2-4 hours long, so it feels overpriced at full price
What players love
Clever rewiring mechanic and puzzles
Mentioned in ~1 in 6 positive reviews
“You play as a freelance spy who can rewire electronics from a distance, and that core mechanic is genuinely fun and well designed.”

Repetitive, shallow puzzles that never evolve
Mentioned in ~1 in 8 negative reviews
“The game never gets significantly deeper. Each wiring stealth puzzle felt the same to me, just randomly rearranged and longer each time.”
