What I liked about Nivalis Nights right away was the atmosphere of ordinary people's everyday survival in a city under the watch of corporate security forces (CorpSec). Raids and checks on citizens are an everyday occurrence, while a curfew, caused by the appearance of a mysterious serial killer, restricts movement at night.

Apart from the gameplay, which is truly addictive, the greatest value of Pragmata lies in its fantastically realized characters. Although they embody archetypes we've seen many times before, a protector and their companion, they feel so convincingly real that, whether you like it or not, they will draw out more than a few emotions from you.
