story3 negative mentions
  • Puzzles are creative and challenging, including unique elements like decoding Morse code.
  • The atmosphere and ambiance are well done, creating a creepy and immersive experience.
  • Game features a large map with good navigation aids and a journal that logs quests and hints automatically.
  • Most clues and puzzles are only in Russian, with poor or broken English translation, making progression difficult for non-Russian speakers.
  • The game is buggy and has technical issues such as glitches and awkward controls that can hinder gameplay.
  • Jump scares feel awkward and the enemy design is unimpressive, which reduces the horror impact; pacing and story clarity issues also detract from the experience.

  • story

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 37% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The story is criticized for its confusing and poorly translated narrative, which hampers understanding and engagement. Players find the horror elements tedious and the quest design repetitive, with the storyline feeling disjointed and slow-paced, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “I might have rated this positively, had they removed these tedious horror elements and only had the SCP-like enemies wandering around as a threat you have to avoid, while you uncover the story.”
    • “Every quest has you run across the town to pick up a piece of something you're building or a key to a house or storage that would have you run back across town.”
    • “You can also find badly translated notes that I suppose meant to tell the story, but they are so badly written, it feels like a parody of other horror games.”
    • “The snippets of story I was picking up didn't really make sense, which I feel is partially intentional since this game gives off a Silent Hill-ish kind of vibe, but I definitely felt like that part of the story was lost in translation.”
    • “Like I said at the start of the review, the game feels terribly slow and the story is really hard to understand (or it's just bad).”

  • gameplay

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    The gameplay focuses on puzzle-solving, exploration, and platforming, employing a classic find-the-key puzzle design reminiscent of 2008-era games. Overall, it combines traditional mechanics with exploration elements to engage players.

    • “As for gameplay, it's the classic find-the-key puzzle design from 2008.”
    • “The gameplay is centered around puzzle solving, exploration, and some platforming.”
    • “As for gameplay, it's the old find-the-key puzzle design from 2008.”
    • “Okay, now we're talking about the gameplay.”

  • grinding

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

    Grinding in the game is considered tedious, especially for players who do not understand Russian, as it involves repetitive tasks combined with challenging enemies that can detract from the overall experience.

  • stability

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

    The game's stability is a significant issue, with numerous bugs and technical problems detracting from the experience. This lack of polish is seen as especially problematic given its high price compared to more stable alternatives.

    • “To cut it short, yes, while the game has great puzzles and ambiance, its buggy and broken nature doesn't justify the steep price tag, especially since games like Metel exist that are much more polished and cheaper.”

  • atmosphere

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

    The atmosphere is intensely frightening, effectively enhanced by well-executed jump scares that heighten the sense of fear.
