Reviewers praise the story and perfectly realized game world, which combines cyberpunk atmosphere with faithful representation of Singapore's unique culture. The gameplay mechanics, which is supposed to well reflect the character of a private detective's work, has also received positive reviews.
The main point of criticizm is the game's technical condition. The title is plagued by many bugs which make it unplayable, so we can only hope that a patch will be released soon. In addition, not all reviewers like the mechanic simulating the economic side of running a detective agency, although others found it to their liking.
