Time took to complete: 4 hours
This was a nice little story to go through with good atmosphere but the controls and the response times feel like they were built for a more steady puzzle pace games and in few instances where the game requires you to step up the pace, you can get really frustrated trying to pull off moves in a hurry as response times and sometimes the animation times are so lengthy.
The puzzles weren't difficult either, I liked the 'Rat Maze' part the most and even that was pretty laid out for you.
However it has some fun chase sequences which reminded me of the rooftop runner game but more atmospheric version and even though they are simple the puzzles you solve are unique.
Presentation is probably its strongest point. I loved the art direction, especially the background and there neat tricks with lighting and stuff. Although I had misqueued audio in few places and a couple of times it played one audio over the other.
Overall I came away thinking it was a nice enough 4 hours to spend but nothing more really. A sequel with more variety in level layout, more responsive and fluid controls and maybe a story that is a bit more fleshed out and you can get what I feel is the 'true' potential of the game.
But, as it is - it's an OK game
5/10.
