Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The game's world design is described as thinly spread, with environments laid out linearly but offering some space for side-quests.
  2. 2
    Combat involves melee attacks and guns, with guns used for interrupting enemy attacks and melee for reloading bullets. Parrying is done with the melee weapon.
  3. 3
    A magic mechanic involves the fox companion building up a special attack bar.
  4. 4
    There's a side-minigame involving collecting Pogs.
  5. 5
    The game has a limited number of unique boss fights, with some awkwardly placed.
Tips
  • The combat can be made easier by using the gunshot as a reliable interrupt to most enemy attacks.
  • The game's open-world elements are not always clear, with some progression gated by specific character interactions or locations.
  • The narrative dynamic between the protagonist and the fox companion is compared to that of Forspoken, with revelations about the fox's past impacting their relationship.
  • The game's pacing and content suggest it may have been cut down due to deadlines.
