❤ Game Mechanics

Players step into the role of Daniel Lazarski, a neural detective who explores a dystopian world through technological augmentation. The gameplay centers on first-person investigation, allowing players to scan crime scenes using electromagnetic and biological sensors that reveal hidden electronic and organic traces.

❤ Detective Investigation

Forensic mechanics challenge players to meticulously examine environments. Each object potentially holds crucial narrative fragments. Players rotate items, analyze digital residues, and reconstruct complex crime scenes by connecting subtle environmental clues. The scanning system transforms investigation into an intricate puzzle-solving experience.

❤ Mind Hacking Sequences

The groundbreaking "Dream Eater" mechanic lets players dive directly into victims' consciousness. These sequences transform linear gameplay into hallucinatory journeys through fragmented memories. Distorted visual landscapes shift unpredictably, presenting surreal challenges where reality constantly dissolves and reconstructs itself.

❤ Puzzle and Exploration Elements

Environmental puzzles require precise interaction, demanding players approach objects from specific angles and carefully manipulate their surroundings. Navigating the decaying apartment complex becomes an intricate dance of observation and strategic movement.

❤ Atmospheric Interaction

Tension emerges through minimal interaction design. Players generate narrative progression by carefully exploring dark, claustrophobic spaces, listening to environmental audio cues, and uncovering resident stories through fragmented technological evidence.

❤ Stealth and Horror Components

Rare stealth sequences introduce brief moments of vulnerability. Threat entities create psychological pressure, forcing players to move strategically through nightmarish digital landscapes while managing increasing psychological strain.

❤ Player Engagement Factors

The experience captivates through unprecedented neural investigation mechanics, hyper-detailed cybernetic environmental design, psychologically destabilizing memory exploration, narrative complexity that challenges player perception, and immersive world-building that feels uncomfortably prophetic.

❤ Technical Gameplay Nuances

Interaction mechanics occasionally feel intentionally awkward, mirroring the protagonist's technological augmentations. Mouse interactions demand precision, reflecting the game's commitment to tactile immersion.
