Political conspiracy, interstellar colonization and resources exploitation... are all inextricably intertwined with Lacuna's sophisticated deduction mechanics, radiating a mesmerizing futuristic vibe. The neon holograms, the rain-soaked streets, the constant buzz of advertisements and roaring vehicles merge to create a kaleidoscope of the pixelated city, with light jazz music floating around. I was just taking in the view, savoring the story and letting the atmosphere washing over me... Worth that entire afternoon!

A really awesome narrative mystery! It takes the base of a point-and-click, changes the ingredients, adds some new flavor, and mix it all together to make a gorgeous game! I do think what shines the most is the narrative and the choices your character makes in the game. The choices make the game even more immersive because it makes you pay attention to everything going on around you. I wouldn't come in looking for a more difficult mystery game since most of the questions you try to answer are a bit straightforward and doesn't need that much deduction or lateral thinking, but it's definitely a start of a really interesting gameplay concept. I also really enjoy the world-building that is accompanied with great pixel art and moody music. All of the ingredients work well together and created a wonderful dish that I greatly enjoyed. Can't wait to try more games by this developer.

Initially, I was not very fond of this game. The pixel graphic and game controls were meh, a lot of the activity was unnecessary (open door, push button, exit the elevator, open another door), and a lot of the activities felt like patining by numbers. However, with progressing gameplay, I felt increasingly intrigued. The characterization of the protagonists was well-balanced, the narrative progressed naturally, and the general direction of the game felt more and more contemporary, given the state of the world in the 21st century. The trump card, however, was that the game puts us in very difficult moral dilemmas; we repeatedly have to decide between several options whose outcomes might be devastating. And after the second run-through, I was surprised how certain developments that looked like predestined in the first round, suddenly took a totally different turn - in fact, eight different versions of the storyline exist, ensuring that you can play it more than once. This game gets wholeheartedly my recommendation.

Classic hard boiled fiction, some nice twists and turns. A fun game, but seeing all of the endings will take you a while, especially since you can't skip cutscenes or save and quit.
