Finished parts 2, 3 and 4. The 2nd part felt like a filler, nothing much happened there. The only two dialogue “puzzles” were very straight-forward - you just choose one (obvious) tactic and follow it, that’s really it. The jet escape moment felt like a parody of Back to the Future And the bomber mission was way too simplified, I expected the fanatic to blow himself every moment - that was one poor attempt at talking him out which surprisingly worked.

The 3rd chapter was really a highlight gameplay-wise. It “switched” from the Police Quest way of thinking to Tex Murphy where you turn the suspect’s apartment inside out (the “big brother” Central is suprisignly easily ingored in this universe). This was also a nice way to demonstarte modern technologies, especially the customized coocking gel - that’s a really cool idea. On the other hand, the “cracking code” puzzle went the same old tired route when the answer lies in front of your eyes and you are even hinted to it.

Storytelling wasn’t too exciting (again, Tex Murphy and its side-missions come to mind), and I agree with Karlok about the hallucination scene - there was no way the maid could’ve seen those visions. Also it felt like they tried REALLY hard to fill the chapter with politcorrectness, like somebody suddenly asked the devs “Hey, where are gay people? Transgenders? Interracial relationships?” and they decided to introduce all at once. Even the S&S guy on the phone sounded gay. Could’ve been introduced much better.

The 4th chapter was once again a take on the escape the locked room puzzle. I think it was better done the first time around - this felt more forced, especially with the guard standing outside - seriously, this might be one of the dumbest and careless future cops ever, he didn’t give a damn about anything that happened inside the cell, with Latha breaking cameras, smashing lights, moving tables and burning papers - “oh well, I’ve seen worse”, seriously? The VR trip went bonkers, Sam & Max-style I’m still not sure it’s appropriate in this kind of world, but at least it adds something to it, because the world itself feels very claustrophobic and empty to me, with few people around and nothing much going on outside.

Having mixed feeling so far, hoping for the best as always.

For me, the 3rd chapter was also a highlight of the game, some aspects of this chapter I found to really give the game a true Cyberpunk feel.

For the money, I was well pleased with this game - a real bargin at the price.

I totally agree with Doom again about how Quince has to be one of the most incompetent cops ever. Like you see that the camera is smeared and you can’t watch what Latha is doing, and you don’t clean it? Also when he walks in with his drone, he just is so careless he doesn’t notice her “borrowing” medical stuff. or that the camera is open now (and come on Latha. Close it after you are done with it).

Yes, that was annoying. Too much suspension of disbelief required and far too common in adventure games. For instance, I remember a game where a guard refused to let me into a room, but turned a blind eye when I started switching room numbers in his presence.

And he doesn’t pay any attention to the boy, lets him sit there for days without medical attention… 

I myself really enjoyed the VR parts, they were a nice break from the rest of the story.

I hate to be a bore, but if you want to stay on track, you should have completed chapters 1 - 4 and have started the 5th chapter.

I hope everyone is enjoying the game so far, not perfect, but a fun game one the less.

[spoiler]Love all the futuristic ideas presented in the game. like trance, heating gel, food making machines, recycling clothes, Central etc…

I could not agree more, when I first got this game I didn’t like it at all - but as I played it it really grew on me. By the end of the game it was a wow. For an inexpensive game , it has solid production values. Like all games, not perfect, but enough good stuff to make it quite the enjoyable experience.

It did win two Aggies, well deserved also.

The later parts of chapter 5 do pick up, compared to the beginning.

If you are playing chapter 6, hopefully you are enjoying this one. I myself thought the puzzles in this chapter to be quite fun and interesting to solve. I know I did, there were times in chapter 6 where I was really scratching my head.

By the way, did somebody inject Guy with water instead of epinephrine? The future of Guy changes according on what you injected him…

Hi everyone!

I’m a little late, but I’d like to join the playthrough if you don’t mind. I’ve actually just started to work on my Wadget Eye backlog so this comes at the perfect time for me.

So far I only had time to finish Chapter 1, but I plan to play through 2-6 in the next few days.

It seems like a good game so far, I enjoy the music, especially the one in the main menu, and I found the virus puzzle quite ingenious.
