    Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story offers an interesting Chinese-themed ghost experience and there were moments when I could feel my heart race while trying to escape the deadly spirits chasing me. However, those chills are dulled by excessive backtracking and slow progress — and in the end, those were scarier.

    This is a mechanically one-dimensional, visually unimpressiv horror-adventure without an interesting cyberpunk world or mean spirits.

Pretty to look at for 10 minutes, but for newbies and point and click veterans, horror fans, and cyberpunk fans, all experience the negatives of this game in its first arc/chapter.
    Endless backtracking, the tutorial shows at the very start. Walk by and talk about endless collectables, picking up none of them until the game says its okay. Examine a desk and see documents? Not gonna feel like reading them yet. Have you found an item at one examined location and collected it? Mindlessly check there again later because it hides something else now. Like the cyberpunk aesthetic? Enjoy it for the 10 minute tutorial before we shove you into a dreary looking hotel/ghost house. Like horror elements and this dark spooky aesthetic? Enjoy 1 jump scare if that after over an hour of backtracking endlessly. Every single thing this project tries to do it fails at. I enjoy all four of these things and wanted to share my 4 levels of disappointment.    … Full Review »

The setting isn't cyberpunk per se outside of the opening sequence and the main characters implants. Other than that it's a pretty good game. I dig this kind of style and artwork so, my bias does show a little bit . As far as the censorship issues and people calling it pornographic they haven't played this game. There is nothing that hasn't been seen before in an M rated game and there is no nudity at all. Revealing outfits yes, nudity none. If you dig old school style mystery ghost stories this game is right up your alley.… Full Review »

    Not a bad game, and really not worth all the complaints about censorship, as there's nothing within the game that hasn't been seen a millionNot a bad game, and really not worth all the complaints about censorship, as there's nothing within the game that hasn't been seen a million times before, Red Colony released a couple of weeks ago had more big breasted women running around than this, and nothing was said about that. As for the game itself, it's a 2D ghost story, a pretty decent one too, a OK story follows, but I wouldn't really call it a Cyberpunk style game, as only the start of the game is set within the future setting, and with the main characters eye implants, nothing else is futuristic, in fact, it's kinda set within the past, as you're investigating a 100 year old curse, which places the game in 1983.… Full Review »
