Good grief, the gunplay mechanics. The adventure game puzzles were actually pretty good and logical (the one about getting the gun was particularly clever). But I couldn't stand the fighting. When they introduced the second dodge mechanic, I just threw up my hands and watched a walkthrough--though it turns out there aren't any more action sequences until the climax. Overall it would probably be a 3-star game for someone who is not me. I play puzzle games because I'm not good at shooters and don't really enjoy them, so can I really give that rating to something I couldn't physically complete?

Plot was decent. Low-key cribbing from Blade Runner, but it had good tension and a good payoff. Again, someone else would probably enjoy it a lot. Though there was one element I found kind of nonsensical.

ROT13 for spoilers:
