Klaus
Klaus follows an office worker who wakes up in a basement with no idea of who or where he is. With his only clue being the word "Klaus" tattooed on his arm, he's forced to escape the mechanical and constructivist world in which he finds himself a prisoner.

Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
