Glad to read the response. Especially since  some of my concerns are actually fully aware decisions; stick to them.

So the railway is rewarding. I guess I didn't had enough patience, and I thought I have some after Pathologic! I understand the wish to keep the world open, as streets doesn't had invisible walls either, and they can lead to non interesting places.
I will give more tries to demo in the meantime to check if maybe stars were in wrong position, or I expect too much from demo at this stage of development. Since I enjoyed the tutorial since I had directions what should l do, and have initial goal.

I've played both demos, although I didn't finished any of them. While I appreciate Blade Runner  but PRL    and try  to recreate Deus Ex mechanics. The game either for me has many issues or ends up it is not my cup of tea after all - at this moment. Maybe final version would be more satisfying. These nitpicks are subjective, it should be taken with grain of salt.

• Both demos (partially tutorial too)  for me suffer from too much emptiness, long  massive corridors and rooms, that  are mostly waste of space and time to travelling through them. In the current demo, while exploring can be rewarding, finding path back or backtracking feels the reward is not worth  of pressing shift  and w for those minutes. I am unsure if it is artistic choice , since it feels like the exaggeration is too great.  I wonder if the same effect of empty wasted space and grandness of  architecture and mass of it would be still achievable if many places would be shrunk by half.
• Because of that, there are places, where I think shouldn't be available.  Like the train tracks that leads to outside.  I am not sure if they lead to somewhere for really patient players, or its purpose is  to punish cheeky players that would explore anywhere they can.
• Due to that long way from one interesting   scenery to another, I had little to no motivation with "completing" the level.
• Another thing, I feel like the jumping and climbing still needs polishing and subtlety. The jumping sequence between three thin bars deep in metro tunnel was frustrating.  Do climbing a ladder is about pressing  spacebar rapidly?
• AI of allies is weird? After taking down enemies with sleep bombs, the allies came to do mass execution.
• It is really nitpicking but poster of Wedel's cocoa powder is too sharp comparing to other posters.
• It is subjective and personal, but seeing character model breaks immersion for me. I understand the inspiration with her design, and I suspect after talking with propaganda woman why main character looks as she looks.   Yet     her look compared to men in this world is too off.  Like custom anime GTA  mod made by someone who is beginner in the craft.
  
  Sorry for harsh words, good luck with the game! I am still looking forward it completion.
