Before release
Updated nightlyReactions to the previews for "Hope in the City" are mostly skeptical, with people loving the art style but questioning a lot else. The core idea of playing as an artist using sketches to solve a mystery sounds promising, but there's heavy skepticism towards the developer, Lofty Sky Entertainment, and a lot of doubt about the Steam and Xbox versions being well-executed. The main character, Hope Song, is getting a mixed reception, with some finding her relatable but others criticizing the portrayal. Overall, people seem cautiously curious but are waiting for more proof that the non-linear investigation will actually work.
