I have played ONM for roughly 2 hours, and while the original game was fairly decent and pretty fun, the new overhaul is something else.

First off, the presentation of the game - as shown in the images and trailers - remains phenomenal throughout the entirety of the experience. The graphics never disappoint and the Sci-Fi theme is very eminent throughout the game. The modelling of each object, enemy and generally everything is Top-Notch and very detailed (even if minimally used.)

The music fits perfectly with the theme as well: a Techno-Synth like instrumental use works very well.

Now for the real Meat of the game... the story.

The game is meant to tie in with an existing ARG (Alternate Reality Game, essentially a huge puzzle.) called "Entropy" and the very characters exist in the game. I won't spoil anything but I hope players see that this new overhaul is about creating a complex and intricate story for members of ARG communities and Gamers alike. The game is short, but there are multiple endings that can be achieved each having their own affect on the story. What the game also lacks in longevity it makes up for with the fact that the description doesn't lie: This IS an ever evolving game: As of writing this the new "Mutation 1" update just released.

In conclusion the game is a pretty, entropic (I'm funny right) experience and I encourage players to take interest in the story and participate in the ARG and decoding this masterpiece of a story. The full enjoyment of this game comes from being a part of the ARG and I hope that players will read up on it.
