It received a mixed reception from critics, who enjoyed its distinctive film noir art style but criticized its gameplay, such as stealth mechanics and controls.
The main character is a "scrambler", or spy, who must evade various guards.[3] The player must hide and sneak around to avoid being spotted by enemies or being lit up by their flashlights.[4]
The game takes place in 1930s Europe, where the main character delves into the criminal underworld.[4] The game's narrator narrates every written word of the game.[4]
The game received a mixed reception, with an aggregate score of 55/100 for the PC version[5] and 44/100 for the PS4 version.[6]
Tom Christiansen of Gamezebo called the game "too difficult" and said that this difficulty was fueled by "inconsistency" where sometimes hiding spots would not work.[3]
Natalie Collazo of Hardcore Gamer said that while the game was "visually beautiful", its stealth mechanics "[don't] really work" and are "frustrating".[4]
Megan Logan of Wired commended the game's art style, calling it "stunning".[7] Ben Barrett of Rock, Paper, Shotgun also said that the art "oozes class".[8]
