  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is characterized by a mix of engaging mechanics and frustrating elements; while the rover's interaction with terminals adds a unique touch, it often feels underutilized and tedious. Players may find enjoyment in mastering the mechanics, but the lack of challenge and predictable story detracts from the overall experience, making it difficult to maintain a sense of horror. The controls and death mechanics can be frustrating, leading to a gameplay experience that varies significantly based on player tolerance for its shortcomings.

    • “The atmosphere is dreadful, the rover is similar to the sub, but it has a camera that doesn't work at certain moments and has worse image quality than the picture taker. However, the rover can interact with local terminals, which are needed to progress, and this is a nice mechanic.”
    • “It took a few minutes to get the mechanics down, and after that, I had a really good time with the computer.”
    • “The drone controls give me a tremendously interesting view of the floor, adding depth to the gameplay experience.”
    • “The rover mechanic is underutilized.”
    • “If you can tolerate the tedious death mechanic, the game might be your cup of tea.”
    • “It's not even a skill challenge; you only die if you don't understand the mechanics (like that you don't have to keep walking while you're being attacked, and if you open your eyes, it's instant death).”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have exceeded expectations for an indie title, showcasing impressive visuals that enhance the overall horror experience. Coupled with effective sound and music elements, the graphics contribute significantly to the game's atmosphere of fear and paranoia.

    • “This is the first indie horror that really caught my attention, mostly because it's not only graphical but sound and music elements are very much part of creating fear and paranoia.”
    • “Graphics are better than my expectations for this price; nice work.”
    • “Shortly: Iron Lung but in an abandoned space station (and with better graphics).”
    • “The graphics are underwhelming and feel outdated, making it hard to immerse myself in the game.”
    • “The character models look stiff and lack detail, which detracts from the overall experience.”
    • “The environments are bland and lack the visual depth needed to create a truly engaging atmosphere.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is described as both dreadful and nice, creating a compelling ambiance that enhances the experience. While the rover adds an interesting mechanic by interacting with local terminals, its camera functionality is inconsistent and lacks quality compared to other tools. Overall, players appreciate the atmospheric elements, despite some initial confusion in gameplay.

    • “The atmosphere and the ambience are nice; I had a few minutes of trouble figuring out what to do.”
    • “Nice atmosphere.”
    • “The atmosphere is dreadful; the rover is similar to the sub, but it has a camera that doesn't work at certain moments and has worse image quality than the picture taker. Additionally, the rover can interact with local terminals, which are needed to progress, and that is a nice mechanic.”
    • “The overall atmosphere feels lifeless and uninspired, making it hard to immerse myself in the game world.”
    • “Despite the potential for a rich environment, the atmosphere falls flat, lacking the tension and excitement that I expected.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally predictable and poorly delivered, leading to a lack of suspense, as players often know what to expect from encounters. While the ability to explore the station adds some depth, the overuse of certain mechanics detracts from the overall horror experience.

    • “The story is exactly what I expected, and it's nice that you get to explore the station in person as well.”
    • “The narrative is engaging and keeps you invested in the characters' journeys.”
    • “I love how the story unfolds through exploration, allowing for a deeper connection to the environment.”
    • “The story is predictable and poorly delivered. The drone controls provide a tremendously interesting view of the floor, but the jamming mechanic is overused. The horror is hard to feel when I know exactly what I'm dealing with before I encounter the monster.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding mechanic to be tedious rather than challenging, suggesting that it may detract from the overall enjoyment of the game. However, those who can overlook this aspect might still appreciate the game.

    • “This mechanic is not challenging; it is just tedious.”
    • “If you can tolerate the tedious death mechanic, the game might be your cup of tea.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in this indie horror game significantly enhances the atmosphere, contributing to the overall sense of fear and paranoia, making it a standout element in the experience.

    • “This is the first indie horror that really caught my attention, mostly because it's not only graphical, but the sound and music elements are very much a part of creating fear and paranoia.”
