Scaffold 22

The game is clearly a labor of love. It's easy to get lost in this detailed cyberpunk noir if you want to, but the plot strikes a fine balance between not being boring and not being confusing. Visuals, music, everything fits well together as far as creating an atmosphere.

The coding and mechanics are, unfortunately, less stellar. Fights can be a repetitive save-load tango if you don't know what affects what, and it's not obvious (but I enjoyed it, both before and after the rework). On one of my playthroughs I found myself stuck in an error loop on the tram and had to abandon the entire run. Another time I found a vital consumable to suddenly jump up 100x in price with no discernible reason or explanation. For that reason I am regrettably giving it only four stars.

It's still a very impressive game and I heartily recommend it to cyberpunk fans.
