The futuristic city of Omikron on the planet Phaenon is sprawling beneath a huge crystal dome. It was erected to protect the city against the ice age which descended upon the planet after its sun ceased to exist. In the beginning of the game the player is contacted by an Omikronian police officer named Kay'l 669, who begs him to leave his dimension, possess Kay'l's body, and enter Omikron to investigate a series of strange murders. The player then takes the role of Kay'l, but his investigation is foiled by a sinister force that the police is unable - and perhaps unwilling - to stop. As the plot unfolds, the player realizes that in order to solve the mystery his soul must establish contact with many inhabitants of Omikron, and ultimately save it from extinction.

This game is David Cage's first game and while it has some good ideas spread throughout, the execution of every single idea seems to not be fully realized and it leads to an experience that is less than ideal and difficult at times. This is a game that I have a hard time calling "bad" and I'm more inclined to call it unfinished. Many of the bugs and glitches that haunted me during the game made the game seem far worse than it should have been.
