❤ Possess Anything to Solve Challenges

Players take on the role of a disembodied "ego" or consciousness, freely jumping between and controlling a wide variety of objects and entities. From robots and computers to doors and turrets, the possession mechanics give players tremendous flexibility in how they approach problems. Reviews highlight the ability to find multiple viable solutions to each challenge, encouraging experimentation and creativity.

❤ Combine Upgrades for Unique Playstyles

As players progress, they can acquire a diverse set of upgrades and abilities for their primary "Bug 22" robot host. These range from offensive capabilities like a shotgun to utility functions like a vacuum and telekinesis, as well as movement options like flight and teleportation. Players can choose which upgrades to prioritize, leading to distinct playstyles and empowering them to tackle obstacles in their own way.

❤ Embrace Failure and Experiment Freely

The game's "fail-forward" design embraces player death as a natural part of the experience. When the current host is destroyed, players simply possess a new one, allowing them to freely experiment without fear of losing major progress. Generous save/load functionality further encourages creative problem solving, as players can quickly try new approaches.

❤ Depth of an Immersive Sim Classic

Experienced immersive sim players frequently compare the depth and player agency of the experience to classics like System Shock, Deus Ex, and Prey. The game captures the core tenets of the genre, while introducing its own unique narrative and mechanical twists that set it apart.
