    terrible. 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    terrible. 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.    … Expand

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

    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.

    Visually the game has some positives, such as Mei and the cutscenes, but there definitely needs to be some more optimization on the Nintendo Switch to remedy the frame rate drops. I only briefly tried the bonus Yotsuya story, but was promptly killed during my first encounter with a spirit – and I couldn’t be bothered replaying the opening sequence again. If you’re a fan of spooky games and enjoy the classic point-and-click style games of yesteryear, then Sense – A Cyberpunk Ghost Story might be worthy of your time.
