It's real cheap on steam, and I heard a huge amount of praise from IGN, so can anyone here recommend the game? To me it looks like a mix of Blade Runner the game and Broken Sword.
Buy it :P

EDIT
This might help http://au.pc.ign.com/articles/115/1159074p1.html But it is a really good game ... Especially for that price :)

It was a game in the Royal Indie Bundle recently. Got it and love it. Especially if you're into adventure games.

It's like Beneath A Steele Sky, which is free on GoG, so if you like that, you will love this.
I bought it around the time it came out but I haven't gotten around to actually playing it.
Well I placed a review from IGN into my first post which is a pretty spot on review for them (Which is rare)

and "Buy it :P " Is me recommending it for you... You never asked for more detail so don't be sarcastic about it...
It's extremely good. Feels like it came right out of the golden age of adventure games.

If you liked Blade Runner or Beneath a Steel Sky at all, you'll love it.

i just checked and its $10. When you said cheap, i thought less than $2. i would wait for an indie bundle. A few weeks ago, you could have bought this along with 3 other indie games for $2.25. i'm sure it will show up in another indie pack soon enough.
It's fantastic. One of my favorite adventure games of all time. It managed to have interesting but reasonable puzzles.

Saturday, actually.
The game is definitely worthwhile. I grabbed the game with the Indie Royale bundle as well, and for the next few days it filled all of my spare time. The atmosphere is well done, the puzzles actually make sense and aren't weird like some games, and the story is pretty decent. The only cons I can think of are iffy voice acting, and it runs a little short (6ish hours maybe?), but even then, still highly recommended here.

I agree with all these points. I absolutely loved the story, and even though I was able to predict most of the twists, I still thought it was very well done. Atmosphere is terrific, especially the beating of constant rainfall. Puzzles aren't difficult, and logical (just remember to use the kick action). I thought the voice acting was acceptable, even though everyone else compared to the main character Azriel aren't as good. My only problem is with the action segments, which I feel are unnecessary. They aren't really frustrating, just simplistic and not very fun.
I'm in the middle of playing it at the moment. It's damn fantastic. Play the demo if you are feeling on the fence about it. For a point and click game, it has wonderful pacing. The storytelling is great. I love the Bladerunneresque atmosphere and the retro graphics. The puzzles all feel logical and they make sense in the context of the story. It is one of the best point & click adventures I have played. Highly recommended.
It's good.
