The game is definitely out now; it's available on Microsoft Windows. Not a lot of exciting moments in this game except for some chase sequences. It's more or less a Bioshock-themed walking simulator.

It feels incomplete. The game ends just before what should be the start of the final act, or rather that there is a point were the final act should happen, but then the game just skips to the end.

Spends a bunch of time hinting at a larger story, and then just ends before you can get there.

 

Some puzzles, but very puzzle light. (in fact I there is one involved 'puzzle' that would be par for the course in a Myst game, but here if you take the time to solve it you just get a message from the devs about how clever you are. nothing plot/story related at all)

It's linear, dark (literally), and a little rushed with its story.

But its setting is neat, the graphics are great, and it's full of different locations you visit.
