Your character does have a single overarching objective - get the hell out of here - but it sounds like you can come at it from any angle. “There is no single true path to the end,” the Steam page notes. “If you know where to go, and what to do - you can try to sequence break the game. Combine that with multiple solutions to every quest and you’ve got freedom to spare.”
Interested? There’sa demo on the Steam page- helpfully, they’ve labelled the in-game area it covers on the below image.

I’m not sure whether we’re reviewing this, but I do like the looks of it. The in-game methods of mission completion described are quite familiar - hacking, pick-pocketing, win people over in dialogue, etc - but I really like the environment art.
I’m also quite keen on the HUD - a fetching assemblage of square LED fonts and crackling MS-DOS/Macintosh-style character portraits, with animated flourishes like hands rolling dice when you perform a skill check. It helps that it’s quite cheap right now - £12.14, $14.44 or €14.01, including the launch discount.
Update: Hang about, Sin’s already written up the early access version of this! Though you’ll need to be that most enlightened of beings, an RPS Supporter, toview her thoughts. Sin’s pre-1.0 verdict was that “if the bugs can be ironed out, and perhaps more crucially, the save system reorganised, this could easily become one of thebest RPGsof its kind.”
