I truly enjoyed this game, I want to replay it at some point. Sure it's not perfect but what game is? The things that I had issues with were pretty minor for the most part (little bugs, etc) and didn't keep me from completing and enjoying the game. I really enjoyed the story and being able to play side missions as a kitty cat. I'm not great at writing my thoughts but I just wanted to express how much I enjoyed this game. I could tell that the devs put a lot of heart into it.
The art is cool. A great atmosphere of pixel art and cyberpunk. But I must say that history didn't catch me and I found the gameplay repetitive and a little bit confusing. A good option to try if you like pixel art and some puzzles.
This is an amazing game with superb atmosphere. It reeks of 90s Sci-Fi nostalgia with a unique blade-runner vibe while not being a copy of it. The art direction is top notch everywhere in the game. The graphical style, the design, the music, the sounds, everything is "neon"-style. The plot is not very straight-forward, and even at the end I can't say I understood everything but I suspect that there's probably a sequel coming sometime soon. Gameplay-wise this is a typical graphical adventure with the occasional "actiony" or timed sequence. Most of the puzzles are very clever. Paying attention to descriptions and dialogues often helps to understand what must be done. Towards the end some puzzles were becoming quite hard to figure out mostly because the clue could be mentioned only during a line of dialogue or description which , if missed by accident, made everything quite impossible to figure out. Also, the end is dragged on longer than necessary mainly due to the need to move back and forth between action areas in order to progress on an action. These 2 negatives were the main reason I took away 1 point from a perfect score. All in all, this …

Read LessI'll start with the bad things first - the fight with robot in Chapter 3 is broken, unless you're using gamepad, there's no way to complete it from a keyboard now. And the game itself ends in a cliffhanger, never to be finished, it seems.
Other than that, the game is one of the best experiences I had in a long time, and it's a really pity no one played it, while everybody played horrible titles such as Phoenix Wright (aka The Ghost Did It!) and "Professor Layton Gimme A Clue Cuz Your Puzzles Dunt Make Sense".
Pixel art is absolutely fantastic, it has lots and lots of cultural references to 80's and 90's (Blade Runner, Angel's Heart, Godfather, Short Circuit, and that's just a few), and good quality of puzzles - not too easy, not too hard.
Wow so I'm sure there's so many more references I'm not getting because this game is just visually stunning and has so many detailed landscapes in each side-scrolling scene. But as a One Piece fan I was soooo surprised when I saw this. (Also this game is free on amazon prime gaming this month) 
This is free in the Epic store this week:
