I'll start by saying the gameplay itself is just okay. It's a basic 3rd person shooter, nothing more or less. I thought it controlled okay not like the best feeling thing in the world but it still felt alright.

The visuals and story are where this games shines. It just looks and feels ugly which is an amazing thing to experience in a game. Especially at this time where everything felt so sanitized and standard. The game has an ugly camera filter but it really enhances everything and makes the controls more understandable. Everything feels and looks low budget. The world is ugly, the characters are ugly, and the story is ugly. But you know not every game should be clean, gorgeous, and smooth. Every once in a while a game should be abrasive and tough to stomach. That's what helps make games more than just a toy when they can be used to express other types of emotions. I'm not saying every game needs to be like this but it's good when one is.

The main multiplayer mode is also really cool. It's a heist where you need to cross a map with a bunch of cops to escape with a bunch of "teammates". But the intresting thing is one of your teammates is an undercover cop who is trying to stop everyone else from escaping. It's really neat to see an attempt at a social deduction game this early compared to Among Us especially in a "mainstream" release. Even with Among Us success most modern mainstream devs still haven't tried making a main multiplayer game\mode a social deduction game.

I will say if you picked this up for full price back in the day I could see why you'd be upset since it's not very long and not the most replay-able game in the world. But now that you can get it for dirt cheap? Do yourself a favor and experience something different.
