So picked this up in the recent Steam sale and just finished it. What does everyone think? I liked it, though I definitely enjoyed the earlier portions more, when it felt more grounded than fantastical. I would love to see a game centered around LeBlanc and his time as a PI before Kay returns. I feel like that would be a good setting to really dig into this awesome dystopia that was created here.

Same as you, I liked the more grounded part better.

The atmosphere is brilliant and the world was so creative. Cyperpunk is hard to do realistically, but Norco managed to create a believable dystopia to me. Because it wasn't that different from our own.

And I applaud the developers for the jump scare with the smartphone and the hobo. That one was really well done.

Amazing writing and atmosphere.

I haven't heard of it, it looks really cool.

I could see getting lost in that world.
