The game is a stylish 2.5D action platformer set in a dystopian version of the 80s USA. The player takes on the role of the artificial intelligence R.E.A.C.H, trapped in a human body. The gameplay combines exploration, puzzles and platforming elements, as well as a combat system with dodges and counterattacks, where timing is important.

The project is available on Xbox Series X|S and PC, and also entered Xbox Game Pass with the release, which allowed a large number of players to try it without additional costs.

The first reviews give the game an average of about 80% on aggregators. This is a good result, but some of the audience expected higher scores, given the long development cycle and expectations around the project.

Critics praise the visual style: pixel graphics combined with 3D effects create an expressive picture and atmosphere. The music and overall dark cyberpunk style are also noted. The combat system has also received positive feedback, offering an experience that requires high concentration from the player.

Among the disadvantages are repetition, uneven pace, problems with the balance of difficulty and not always convenient controls in difficult moments. The plot, according to some reviewers, could have been revealed more deeply.
