positives
+neat concept, never been done before to have AI mimmic your actions (i think, could be wrong)
+large nice looking environments, though they are somewhat on the copy-paste side
+competent voice acting
+runs well enough on my system

The meh:
= The exposition dialogue between levels seemed a bit on the post-modern side. I had difficulty following what they were trying to convey, and I do not feel it was a lack of intellect on my side.

Negatives:
- Extreme negative mouse acceleration you cannot turn off
- keyboard controls suffers from failure to respond, especially ducking sometimes just would not respond. And it's not my keyboard, it's Filco Majestouch II, not a dud in the least.
- Gameplay loop whilst interesting is ultimately recycled one too many times

Made it to the final chapter, but the clunky controls which were up to that point manageable now force you to:
run through a timed door whilst about 8 echoes rush you and there is only the slimmest of margins. Add to that that you have to collect several items in the room, making every attempt excruciatingly annoying. The problem is you have to sit on a throne, move off the throne, then waddle your way to a ledge, press space on the ledge (note the failure to respond earlier...) and then press space again to run to the door. All the controls however suffer from failure to respond or delay and by the time you reach the door it's already closed. If you try to already leap when the door is still opening to give you a second extra, the echoes have not yet cleared the door and stop you.
Tried about 10 times, gave up and uninstalled. If a game has such a difficulty wall preventing you from completing it, i cannot in good conscience give it a thumbs up. I'm saddened to learn the developer went belly-up. I'd have liked the idea of an indie developer that had neat idea's and wasn't number #42132 in line with a 2D pixel-art game.
