Overall fun game
I think this story is okay, not good but won’t let you regret to purchase as well. Little too linear and too much characters show up in a short time. Not so catchy

Short, linear, but worth it
Sometimes I’m in the mood for a Choice of Robots style game where every choice I make very perceptibly changes the story and the whole thing takes a while. Sometimes, though, I want something quick and fast I can get through in under an hour and where I can see where everything’s going to go. That’s what happened here - it’s not a long game by any means, and from my few play throughs nothing really changes too much based on what you do. I’m not even sure my stats truly mattered in the end because no matter what I did I seemed to fumble the same parts. That said, the story is cute. The characters aren’t that fleshed out but all play a Heist Role that you’re probably used to seeing in Heist movies and shows like Leverage. And in the end, I had a good time - and that’s what matters, right?
