moody and atmospheric narrative game that starts as a furry neo-noir for its first few chapters, then takes a hard swerve into very different genre territory. Story doesn't ultimately cohere and leaves far too many unanswered questions, and there's definitely the sense that what released was cut down significantly from a more ambitious earlier vision (the description on this very page, taken from the 2018 Kickstarter, indicates that stealth and action elements were intended to play a major role, but in the final game, they only factor into the first chapter; the rest is overwhelmingly narrative-driven with a tiny bit of puzzle-solving here and there). still, there's great atmosphere, beautiful pixel art, and some intriguing ideas in the story; I just wish it could have delivered on more of the vision set out in the original Kickstarter pitch.
