“Gameplay is great, challenging and engaging, but not frustrating.”
“The gameplay elements mix together really well to create a challenge the player needs to overcome.”
“It's polished, runs well, the mechanics are intuitive enough to pick them up quickly but also leave room for challenge and learning, and it looks good!”
“While there is an in-game manual that describes each of the mechanics (and it's diegetic which I love), I mostly skimmed it and brute forced my way to learning the mechanics.”
“Final chapter took some effort, having to balance all the mechanics learned along the way.”
“Very FNAF 4-esque in both gameplay and level of intensity (but you're on a train -- with a shotgun).”
