This is an indie version of a Hitman game. I like the cartoony graphics, and in every scene is so much detail, you can clearly see the love that went into this game. The voice acting is also superb and gives this game so much charm. The story in this game is very good, after volume 1 you want to know how it goes on! I hope at one point they will make a season 2 of this game, I enjoyed it that much!

The negative thing I read on the forums is that the stealth gameplay is buggy and I can see where they coming from. For the most part I had no problems, except that I got stuck in a loop in Volume 3 act 1 where I couldn’t do any of my objects from the spot it auto-saved. In that same act I also had troubles getting through the doors, but otherwise I didn’t have many problems at all.

For the achievements you will have to replay most of the acts do have different solutions which give different results. I first played the volumes without an achievement guide and then go back and did the missing achievements. This way it took a little bit longer to complete the game, but I enjoyed to explorer the story first before going back with a guide. At the end I sometimes got a bit annoyed with the story before you can play an act, some of it is skippable, others weren’t.

+ Lovely artwork with amazing details
+ Great story
– A bit clunky gameplay and some unskippable scenes
