The story isn't a big bombastic story. But, it is tightly and neatly packaged and unfolds as you play the game. The game leads you to theorize about a lot of things as you discover the answers. That's pretty nice to see instead of a game just dumping all the information on you at once.

The characters are pretty charming too, even the side characters and NPCs you meet along the way have enough of personality for you to remember. The robot companion is the link between us and the rest of the game. Without giving any spoilers, there is a part in the game where the robot gets captured and you can't understand any of the other characters anymore because the robot has been translating what they've said to you this whole time. The cat doesn't talk but somehow still understands and connects to the robot and other characters in a very natural way. You see the relationship between the robot and the cat grow as the game progresses and you really want them to succeed.

The gameplay is really simple you run, jump, and the robot also gets some abilities too. Some parts of the game are very fast paced and the controls being so simple is very helpful.

I love the look and aesthetic of the game. They use some really cleaver level design. If you get lost, there are subtle lighted pathways, disguised as billboards or streetlights, that point you in the right direction. But, it doesn't look obvious and doesn't break your immersion. There are also collectibles for those who like to 100% games.

This is a casual game, it's not too difficult and is easy for almost anyone to play. Even though I only played for 8 hours, because of how immersed I was, it felt way longer. This is a game that I'd be willing to replay and will remember having a really fun time playing.
