  • The game features exploring different rooms and investigating objects, appealing to mystery and puzzle enthusiasts.
  • Some players appreciate the effort and concept and feel the game has potential if further developed.
  • The graphics look relatively good, likely due to the use of asset store resources.
  • The game is extremely buggy, with issues such as being stuck in places, overlapping audio, unstable controls, and screen tearing.
  • There is a lack of instructions, no tutorial, no pause or main menu, and controls are not clearly explained, leading to player confusion.

    The story is largely absent or unclear, leaving players confused and disconnected. While some narrative elements appear intermittently, the overall plot feels incomplete, impacting the game's appeal. Improvements to the story alongside gameplay could enhance the experience in the future.

    • “Story is completely missing and leaves the player utterly confused.”
    • “Simply, I've been playing for 30 minutes and from my point of view the story seems to navigate some but not all.”
    • “As it stands, I can't recommend it, but as you guys work through issues and strengthen the core gameplay/story, that could change.”

  • graphics

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The graphics are surprisingly decent but appear to rely heavily on pre-made assets, lacking originality. Additionally, the game offers no customization options for graphics or controls, and it lacks basic interface features like pause or main menus.

    • “The game graphics look better than you might expect, but that's just because it looks like some or all of them are "borrowed" from asset stores or wherever.”
    • “The game has no settings where you could change graphics, controls, FOV, nor even sensitivity; it also doesn't have a pause menu or a main menu.”

  • stability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent bugs, performance problems, and screen tearing, making it frustrating and difficult to play despite possibly being in early access.

    • “Super freaking buggy, terribly broken, runs poorly and has noticeable screen tearing.”
    • “May be early access, but it's too buggy and not fun to play once you get it to work.”

  • optimization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users generally find the game poorly optimized, leading to performance issues and a less smooth experience.

  • gameplay

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The gameplay currently has notable issues that hinder enjoyment, but with improvements and strengthening of core mechanics and story, it has the potential to become recommendable.
