Reception[edit]
In a preview, Wesley LeBlanc of Game Informer called the game "something I look forward to going hands-on with in the future", describing its themes as "intriguing" and its setting as "vibrant and diverse". He explained that he was curious why the game was shared-world multiplayer.[7] Jody MacGregor of PC Gamer stated that it stood out for its lack of combat, saying that the puzzles seemed varied. She stated that there was a "Windows wallpaper vibe" to the game's locations.[8] Ken Allsop of PCGamesN called the game "breathtaking", with a "stunning" environment.[9] Both MacGregor and Allsop compared the game to The Witness, citing its mixture of exploration and puzzles.[8][9]
