6/10
The mechanics are not that great, I mean, just basic environmental puzzles, some small stealth sections, and exploration. Playing as a cat in a dystopian world is a great idea but nothing more: the cat is kinda stiff and the fact you can jump only where allowed (and indicated) just feels bad - I'd assume that being a cat would feel freely and dynamic and instead this cat is even more stiff than most playable humans out there.
The sci-fi dystopian worldbuilding, although not that original, is quite good and well crafted. The plot is average but its take on posthumanist fiction is funny and even moving at times.
The best aspect of the game by far is its setting, a more-walled version of Kowloon inhabited by weird creatures and robots. The structure of the city, its purpose, its technologies make it an urban embodiment of the political subtext of the game. Which may be nothing but the nth cliche, ok, but it works.
