There's a chain, you're chained together.

Cats.
There's a cat on the moon.
Buy it for the cats.

Spawn in, run forwards, get killed by a person diving around the corner with an AK-47... I mean Kastov 762
Repeat.

So After playing this, in it's current state, I can't recommend it, there are quite a few things that need to be fixed or changed. I will give it a thumbs up because the idea behind it is really interesting and with a few changes / fixes this could be really good. (( Steam Why Can't we Give things Neutral reviews? ))

However, Good things First.

I like the general idea behind the game.

I really like the ammo counters and the fact that it shoots one from each gun in turn, not six from one of them and then six from the other is a nice concept.

Grace has a nice character model.

The Lore pages you can collect tell an interesting story.

There are pickups you can get which buff different things from damage to reload speed.

There is a dash feature, which you will be using, quite a lot.

Merchant that you can buy new items at, which then lets them spawn in chests on your runs.

(( I would recommend increasing the cost of things, I managed to get enough ORIABS on my first run to buy everything. ))

Now Negative points.

The boulder throwing enemies are quite crazy, especially since the boulder still damages you after they've thrown it whilst it rolls on the floor, this led to the only damage I ever took on my runs was from these enemies, you will not get hit by anything else besides fall damage.

You can shoot enemies when they aren't even on the screen which led to me spending time just shooting all the way across rooms to kill things.

There is a parry feature, which all it did was end up getting me killed or taking damage and thus it never really was used.

Every time you go down a floor all your pickups disappear.

Why don't all the doors open when you clear a room? This leads to it being more of a linear path rather than a dungeon which means I hope you can remember your way around otherwise you will be going in circles for quite some time.

Enemies can sometimes spawn inside walls or floors leading to you either becoming trapped or having to stand with the guns in the wall to shoot them.

I've had an Enemy spawn outside of the room it was supposed to be in which caused me to become hard stuck and had to quit a run.

I've been sent either flying up out of the map or down through the floor a few times but it usually just moves you back to the start point of the level.

You can get the majority of the items in the tutorial ---> I got every single lore page in the tutorial. (( Yes I did actually try to see if this was possible, so you won't do it normally, but I thought it should be tested. ))

Multiple Cars

It's a bit of a sticky one still.

A very short fun game to play, I would say it's only really good for one play through though.

The Ending of the game kinda ruined the story for me and just felt tacked on with no real depth too it. But apart from that, it's a fun short game.

Now then this game looks alright, However there are a few little issues that are there within it, Maybe these will be fixed by the time the full release comes out.


Lets start with the Good points about the game.
- The game has some good dialogue within it. I particularly enjoyed the banter between the two Main characters over the one being a kid.

- The combat is SRPG like and pretty fun, but if your not into SRPG's you might not enjoy it.

- The Aesthetic of the Game is cool, I Like the Art style and the setting of the game.

Okay now some of the bad points with the game.
- Sometimes the Dialogue has really weird wording

- The controls are a bit weird but I guess quite easy to get used too?

- I don't understand the point in the second character in the battles. Do they actually do anything?

Final overview.
There are other systems in this such as Crafting and more party members you can get and level up and give them skills and other things that I haven't really spoken about above. The game seems good, but is also marred by little problems here and there, but if the Devs fix those, mainly the Dialogue ones and The reason behind having a 2nd character come into a battle to do nothing but stand there I would rate this game higher, but at the moment it sits at a 7/10. The concept is cool and the world the game takes place in seems to be a good setting as well as having good artwork, there just needs to be a few fixes / changes to make me give this a 8 or maybe 9 out of 10 rating.

This Game Changed my life.

Quality OST from a Quality Game.

Best Tracks IMO:
Pursuit Corner the Culprit
Pursuit Catch the Culprit
Godot's Theme, The Fragrance of Darkness, that is coffee
Rise from the Ashes
Eternal Victory, Endings and Beginnings.
Oh and how could I forget the Classic. Phoenix Wright, Objection

(But all the tracks are good, those are just my personal favourites.)

10/10 Would Listen to Godot's theme again.
