An interesting and unique game with lots of ways to research and obtain info. It does give you the option to have higher levels of gameplay but they require more of your personal info so not for me. Still there is lots to do and sometimes can be a bit difficult. Overall a fun game which makes you sort of feel like your an agent.

Goddamn I love Alice and Smith games! Puzzles, Cryptology, Detective work and a shit tonne of googling. A game that, while playing, you start to ask "is this a game?" Absolutely love it!

Excited to pick up this game from Nite Team 4 I was actually, kind of disappointed. If you've ever played Nite Team 4, you know those Open World Missions that Alice and Smith used to make? Well, this game is it. On a psychotic level. I thought "Ya, this game would be a nice relaxant and get me involved deeper into The Black Watchman that Nite Team 4 always talked about" HAHA. NOPE. This game goes over a buuuuuuuuuunch of fucked up topics. Human experimentation a big one, as well as delving into what is pretty much, satanic cults. I like that idea. It also mixes it with a bunch of stuff that I must not be galaxy brained enough to understand. Alice and Smith goes HARD on puzzling. I got sick of it after about 2 hours of a constant cycle of 1.racking my head with missions, 2. seeing a guide for said mission, then 3. going "Yeah, how the FUCK was I supposed to figure that one out?" I wish I could give a conditional recommendation. So I'll leave it positive at it's price point. Do NOT buy this game if you are in it for just lore, this game will rip your ass a new one. DO Buy this game if you feel that every other game has failed you on puzzles.

Incredibly good puzzle game that blends reality and fiction just enough to immerse you in the game world but not drive you insane.
