![]() Some "fancier" puzzles do exist, that require reading found notes, but they will rarely give you a headache. Need to break an object? Look around for a crowbar. You need a sharp item to cut something down? Look for a knife. Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story is, for the most part, a very simple deal. This example wasn't used unintentionally. ![]() Mei-Lin must explore this decrepit block of apartments, interact with the world to gather items, like, say, a key, and then start using those items in specific spots, like, for instance, a door. Unfortunately, whereas a masterpiece like Silent Hill would play with one's mind by going back and forth between the real(?) world and a hellish dimension, here, once Mei-Lin enters the haunted building where this takes place, most will surely forget about everything else.Īnyways… the adventure begins - and it's important to note that this mostly plays exactly like an adventure, despite the existence of some baddies that can hunt you down. It occasionally achieves that by showing glimpses of the bright and colourful, outside world from inside the darkness of the Chong Sing Apartments. Maybe the purpose for the neon-lit shops, enhanced, ultra-busty NPCs, and sci-fi tech like holograms and such, was to create a strong contrast with the paranormal horror that will be experienced after this half hour-long, tutorial-esque introduction reaches its end. It's as if the creator of Sense: A Cyberpunk Story just added all that in the intro just because he simply wanted to, without any particular, practical reason. The dirty, dystopian Neo Hong Kong looks cool, in all its unapologetically Heavy Metal/Anime-inspired hyper-sexiness, with Mei-Lin Mak, the main heroine, basically being an extra thicc mix of Cowboy Beebop's Faye Valentine, and Ghost in the Shell's Motoko Kusanagi - which is awesome… but still somewhat weird. Being a fan of this particular brand of science fiction, this critic doesn't really complain, he just mentally scratches his head right now. There's no point in here for the existence of any cyberpunk elements.
