"Disjunction is one of the best indie games that I&s;ve played recently with its brilliant blend of story, stealth, and gadget-based combat."

"Ape Tribe Games&s; debut title Disjunction provides a thrilling narrative that changes based on how players approach each situation."
Read original review"Disjunction doesn’t lean into cyberpunk quite as heavily as games like Cyberpunk 2077 or The Red Strings Club, but there’s enough sneaking and slaughter to keep you engrossed until the bitter end. It also warrants another playthrough where you force …"
