Simple and relaxing game with not much content (or I am missing something).
You got options to add custom made art, that's a big plus.

On a artistic note I do wish the renderings could be a bit more polished, many look very rough/speed paint some artist do in less than 40min.

Also I'm not fan of the cyberpuck ones.. Having a gallery editor could make this game go from average to very recommended since you could create a full collection of puzzles you cherry pick (and I can be very picky when it comes to female aesthetics).

A sense of nostalgia is restored after finishing this game for the first time since I played it in the 2000.
It used to run on DOS / windows95 with CD support on a 100Mhz pentium machine.


It Works on Linux, have some quick saves options build in, music plays properly, you can skip the intro.
Movement arround the mazes can be done with arrow keys, fullscreen view toggle is available with F1.

The cons :
The ending scene is kinda disapointing after the atmospheric build up.
The items are wreidly placed and many things are unexplained, it is part of its charm however, I've spend so many hours trying to figure out the logic of the puzzles however for some there is none.
Some interresting items you grab are pointless while others more mundane are key to the success of the your run.

Keep in mind that you operate in a frozen time continuum, changes you engage in a past keyframe can affect future keyframes.
- There is one hidden key in the music box at the bar (silver color).
- Before stealing the last artefact in the lunar base be sure to have the brass key
- To avoid running out of coins make sure to insert one in the phone booth, coins are needed to enter the garden maze from the phonebooth side.
- dont waste your coins on the fortune teller before solving the puzzle in the theater

A well made arcade style racing game.

I wish it has option to remap the binds because without xbos 360 controller you might struggle to have proper handling

I noticed the game crashes regularly this is quite frustrating because otherwise I could spend more time with it.
The piloting reminds me Starwars Rogue Squadron, so it is very good.

What I Love in this game :
- the soundtrack
- the gameplay mechanics,
- the idea of 2D animated cutscenes
- variety of missions
- progression of upgrades
- enjoyable extra missions, vs mode, extra replays and easters eggs
- FINALLY PORTED TO PC (I dont own consoles)
- VR to gives extra replayablity

What I don't like :
- geolock for sound score (would like to hear the JP voice acting)
- DRM spoof
- WARNING ; limited mapping functionality the gameplay can put a lot of stress on the dash button/trigger and has broken my pad.
- for a dated PS2 game its a bit laggy at times on modern hardware
- No ZOE-1 on PC to expand the experience
- metatron references (based on toxic spiritual knowledge)

It was dirty to swap the steam library slot of csgo with cs2 because now all the csgo reviews point to a disappeared game.

Starting from now , peoples who want to relive the old days of csgo for nostalgia or research sake will not be able to play unlike 1.6 or css.. or even classic offensive and the numerous mods.
and just like that they wiped 11 Years of cs history think about it..

And peoples wonder why >30 years olds stick with retro titles.

None of the games in my library is pushing the GPU like this puzzle game does.
Something is fishy about it and peoples have been reported this could be a mining program.
For who and for what?


I regret my purchase for that reason.

The girls are cute there but that's pretty much all it have.

I love the weeb visual style, the vibrant colors and mecha gameplay implementation but unfortunately the metatronic / subliminal encryption (specially in the sound effects) is making me sick so I would advice to stay away from it if you care about your health.

I'm not playing many of the new games because of that.

Other Things I don't like:
- Addiction inducing reward system.
- PC port instead of native that cause all kind of graphic problems and shuttering
- lack of EU servers
- crates + slight pay-to-win (the new stuff is buffed breaking the balance)
- lack of volume control for microphones chat
- restriction on chat characters breaking communication instead of implementing gaging options.

Some good elements are:
- player base is more friendly (I've found nice and easy going team mates)
- bot implementation is nice for newcomers
- gameplay mechanics are nicely paced, weapons variety is interresting
- lobby interaction
- world design reminiscent of Tokyo city (Nostalgia hit in the feels)

The idea is a dream come true but this rendition needs polishing..

- A volume bar for the sound would be nice.
- ASMR sound ambient instead of music or have option for both
- Option for 4K clips downstepped to 1440p would be sweet
- highlighting the contour of pieces before selecting would greatly help the experience

- last but not least : MORE Visuals , allow for custom content to be added..

I would pay the good price for those upgrades.

The potential of the Puzzle genre transcended, what a mesmerizing masterpiece !

A magical experience that reminded my very 1st cdrom game: The Labyrith of Time but also the Lucasarts LOOM from DOS era.


Here the story seems a bit doomy despite the beautifull artstyle and that's my only complain.. the character seems to be tossed between depression, injuries and scenery dramas but the rest is pretty much flawless.

What fascinates me is how they intergrated animation in such a dynamic puzzle system.

Now I regret buying it on a discount even if it is a short title, the devs have done a genius work that deserve praise and support.


I'm ready for a sequel now and I can already imagine a plot where a Child is assisting his/her Pet travel through a maze to reach his/her owner at the end, or a story of two lovers how got separated via space-time barriers where the endgoal would be to unite them again.
Thanks you very much for the experience.

The pros:
- smooth game engine (reminecent of Q3A OSP)
- advanced hud customization
- level editor integration (leading to community based expansions)
- a raw approach to fps

The Cons:
- uninspired /impersonal model designs, let's be real..they are BORING to look at and play with.
- claustrophobic official map pool (despite being well balanced they are DEPRESSING to play on)
- lack of single player campaign with bot support
- Crates system to Unlock Extras
- as a result of the points above there is no "casual" player base active online

A game engine that had potential but lacks Soul to bring and retain it's audience.
