An absolutely beautiful love letter to 80s sci-fi that falls a little short on gameplay progression. Every cut scene/animation is great fun to watch (except for the door opening clip which plays all too often) and several of them had me "wow'd" while I was playing. The way sprites change resolution as they get closer to the screen is a feature I've never seen done to this extent. Sadly, the gameplay is too railed to keep my wanting to finish and the conversations seem more choic- less than what the game's description claims. Apparently there's romance? I played quite a bit and never experienced a romance aspect, but the level of scripted play makes the game feel more like a visual novel with investigative elements being filler. I wouldn't say it's boring, but the most fun is definitely experiencing the visual style.
