Read my full review on Adventure Game Hotspot!
Excerpt: "While I wish Cosmic Void would start to make longer, deeper games, because I really think its solo developer has the right stuff, there’s surely an audience for short games like Neon Hearts City. Even I often enjoy playing through a quick game between larger behemoths, just to relax the mind a bit while still enjoying a cool story and some fun puzzles without demanding any major commitment. In this case, however, I thought the ending came even more abruptly than in Devil’s Hideout, leaving me wanting more. At least the story makes you think about life, its most important question being who you would choose to be if you couldn’t remember anything and had a chance to start over. But when it comes to sci-fi tales of androids and lost memories, I fear this one might wind up as just one more among many, even with stylish pixel art, music and voice overs combining to bring it very much to life. Which would be a shame, because if Philip K. Dick were alive today and fancied a career in adventure games, his work might bear some similarities to Neon Hearts City."
