To confirm this, when we are exploring we can often see buildings collapsing into the sea which is truly spectacular to watch and definitely adds to the sense of danger in the city. We are told that the city is dangerous to live in. A definite plus in this game is that the story is told as much through its environment as well as its exposition. There is great banter between the characters, particularly Camus who always take everything Rania says literally. These conversations really help ensure that flying around the city is never dull and are always interesting to listen to. The two main characters we interact with are Control, who tells you where to go and what packages to deliver and Camus, your dog automata AI who wants to have his own body and speaks exactly like you would imagine a dog would speak. She is also a kind, caring and compassionate person as she also wants to help others when she can and we see this several times throughout the game. We see that Rania is more than capable of holding her own against the other inhabitants of the city by delivering witty remarks to those who look down on her for being an outsider. While we make deliveries we learn more about the city and Rania herself and why she ended up in the city as a delivery driver in the first place. We play as Rania, an outsider who has just arrived to the city of Nivalis who has been hired as a delivery driver for illicit delivery company Cloudpunk. But while it certainly shares a lot in common with Blade Runner, thankfully the game also has its own unique identity which helps it stand out. It’s set at night time, it’s always raining, there are hover cars flying around, neon advertisements are everywhere and there are plenty of androids walking around. From the outset we can clearly see this game is heavily inspired by Blade Runner.
