Identity Thief

Author:Rob Shaw-Fuller
Genre:Science Fiction
Released:2002
Review:

A story of a high-tech burglar with surgically-implanted identity spoofing tools getting more than he bargained for. One of the few self-proclaimed cyberpunk games to grasp the attitude and prose style of cyberpunk, rather than just the gadgetry. Puzzles are mostly straightforward, although I sometimes had difficulty communicating what I wanted to do, partly because of the way the vocabulary is overloaded. Short enough that the plot development felt a bit too fast to me, with some opportunity to miss things important to the story.

Rating: ****
