      how much money did it cost to make that ? its pretty long and about time people that are NOT hollywood start making movies and series to watch.

      Looks like its very much reality that it can be made happen !

    I'm blown away with the fast paced world building, refreshing show-don't-tell approach, blend between suspense, humor, action with heart, plus all those complex perspective shifts... it just all worked and was so effectively pulled off. Score was top notch and characterful by the end. Story was blessedly unpredictable and engrossing. There's so much to like here. Beautiful work, amazing team.

If this were the opening scene to a wide-city Cyberpunk 2077-style game (although developed properly without an artificially-compressed schedule resulting in, well, Cyberpunk 2077) that let players alternate between playing Stevie and the Window/Delivery Guy, it could be a AAA GotY.
