  • The game features a unique stealth mechanic, allowing players to control a spider robot with creative movement options.
  • The retro-pixel art style and atmospheric music contribute to an engaging cyberpunk experience.
  • Despite being unfinished, the game shows potential with an interesting story and challenging puzzles.
  • The game is essentially an advertisement for a product that has not been completed, leading to a lack of content and value for players.
  • Controls can be clunky and unintuitive, making navigation frustrating for many players.
  • There are significant technical issues, including a lack of graphical options and performance problems on lower-end systems.

    The monetization aspect of this game is heavily criticized for being essentially an advertisement rather than a complete product, misleading players by presenting an unfinished demo as a full game. Reviewers express frustration over the lack of value in such advertising, arguing that it clutters the market and detracts from legitimate game offerings. Overall, the monetization strategy is seen as exploitative and detrimental to the gaming community.

    • “We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement.”
    • “Usually the purpose of these advertisements is to get you to shell out money to the developer to buy the full product, but the developer hasn't bothered actually making a product you can buy, leaving this as an advertisement for nothing.”
    • “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”

  • story

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 24% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The game's story is described as intriguing but incomplete, with players expressing hope for a satisfying conclusion involving the main character and their robot companions. While the narrative has potential and engages players through stealth gameplay, some find the structure confusing due to redundant menu options. Overall, the story captivates early on, but its brevity and unfinished state leave players wanting more.

    • “I hope they finish the story and our little robot buddies have a happy ending.”
    • “Although the game is not finished, it has great story potential, sneaking around trying to gather bits and pieces of information about your lost friend and the mess you are getting yourself into.”
    • “That first few bits telling the story actually got me hooked.”
    • “It's a stealth game with a simple story, and gameplay that is a one-trick pony.”
    • “There are 'play' and 'story' buttons, but I don't understand why since they show the same things - the level select. The only difference is that you can start the game only from 'play'. Why not remove 'play' and start from 'story'?”
    • “It's a very short game with a narrated story about the main character.”

  • gameplay

    The gameplay features a unique spider crawling mechanic that is both fun and engaging, though it suffers from tank-like controls and a lack of depth. While the stealth elements and simple story provide an interesting experience, the overall gameplay feels somewhat limited and could benefit from more personality and variety. Despite these drawbacks, players who enjoy mastering the mechanics may find it rewarding, especially as the game is still in early access.

    • “Interesting story and gameplay.”
    • “Besides this, the mechanics are fun if a little bare at the moment, though it is in early access.”
    • “The gameplay kinda felt like playing a Knuckles stage in Sonic Adventure 2 with a zero turn radius lawn mower, but it controlled accurately to what you put in. So if you're good at it, you'll love this game, and if not, you can definitely learn and improve as you go. Overall, fun game, neat idea, ready for episode 2!”
    • “It's a stealth game with a simple story, and gameplay that is a one-trick pony.”
    • “Though crucial to the gameplay, playing as the robotic spider has tank controls and for the most part, doesn't twiddle its legs very quickly.”
    • “The gameplay kinda felt like playing a Knuckles stage in Sonic Adventure 2 with a zero turn radius lawn mower, but it controlled accurately to what you put in. So if you're good at it, you'll love this game, and if not, you can definitely learn and improve as you go.”

    The graphics in the game have received criticism for being unexciting and lacking options for customization, which can hinder the experience, especially on lower-end devices. Users also noted that the orthographic view can be disorienting, as objects remain visible even when obstructed, contributing to a frustrating navigation experience. Overall, the graphical presentation and control mechanics seem to detract from the gameplay.

    • “This game looks interesting, but there is no option for graphics.”
    • “First off the controls are a bit clunky to learn (you rotate when you press a/d, and camera is controlled via mouse), the graphics are not very exciting and one thing that threw me off when trying to move s-44 was the orthographic view and the fact that s-44 was visible even when behind objects?”
    • “The graphics and sensitivity make navigating a nightmare.”
    • “The game is so odd; the controls are something you cannot get used to. Also, there is no graphics option, so if you have a low-end laptop, it's not going to be the best experience.”
    • “First off, the controls are a bit clunky to learn (you rotate when you press A/D, and the camera is controlled via mouse). The graphics are not very exciting, and one thing that threw me off when trying to move S-44 was the orthographic view and the fact that S-44 was visible even when behind objects.”
