A decent story with throw back graphics. Various tools become available from terminal hacking, file reading & download, tracking, maps, etc. However, you'll soon realize it's the same routine with decreasing satisfaction of each solved case. If you're a completionist: there are achievements so there's that. All in all it held my attention for a few hours, but not long enough to complete the title. Likely will not return to finish. Recommend it for anyone who has a itch for crime solving, spying or light hacking interests.

This game made me dust off all my old point-and-clicks and relive the good ole days.
Very few games have ever accomplished that. What a great overall experience.

TLDR:
How long to complete:
If you rush through it all, you can probably complete it in under 4 hours.

Great style, references to the genre aplenty, explore, solve puzzles and throw in some terminal style typing to control/hack your environment.

9/10 - If it had an 80's mix of electronica in the soundtrack it would have been epic.

Extras:
Developer Commentary is a great touch to check out after completing the game.
Credits are unique and fit the game's style spot on.
Modding - It should be interesting what the community and/or Blendo releases in the future!

Extended:

First of all.. It’s a straight up puzzle solving game with STAGES.
Then it's a command-via-typing / exploration style game.
For those wondering: I'd say it's 50/50 with typing and exploring - Some more than others at times.

Instead of interacting with things point blank, you enter commands on your "mobile" terminal, control robots, fire weapons, use jump pads and more! Feels like pieces of other titles meshed together with a unique art style in the process of being perfected by Blendo.

After the first portion of the solo play it splits into a multi-mode where you case, engineer and grease your way through stages. The trick being the actions you do in time affect the next mode you play. It's a fun twist and change to the first portion.

Without ruining too much of the puzzle aspect of the game, the stages have been very thought out and the more items you unlock, the harder things get.

Be prepared to restart stages to achieve the fastest times without penalties.

Say hello to Chu Chu the black-market cat.

This studio promised to never have microtransactions... For shame.

DLC is arguably necessary. There is absolutely no necessity for microtransactions. PERIOD.

Done.

A great point-and-click adventure game that reminds me of the height of the genre back in the 90's. A wonderfully done throw-back with a good story line, voice acting and artwork. Some aspects are daunting, and the slow-paced walking can get a bit annoying. A little short for my liking : Start to finish just over 11 hours of gameplay. If you can snag this while it's on sale (I paid $3.99USD) it'll make a great addition to anyone's collection who enjoys P&C adventures!

ForgettableZ

It was too similar to many other East-Style MMO's.
It got stale too quickly and there was nothing memorable about the experience.
