Unique and interesting sci-fi horror concept with a distinct setting involving meat and cloning themes.
The story and lore are well crafted, providing an atmospheric and creepy experience.
Free to play with multiple endings and an unusual art style that some players find intriguing.

Extremely buggy and unpolished with frustrating glitches including camera lockups, terrain spasms, and soft locks.
Janky and unreliable platforming controls that make movement and progression tedious and prone to getting stuck.
Visual quality is low with poor textures and graphics, detracting from the overall experience.

The gameplay is generally solid but can feel dull and unpolished, especially in early levels, featuring basic platforming and dialogue interactions. Some mechanics, like the double jump/fall break, may feel awkward initially but add unique elements. Overall, the tone and narrative complement the gameplay, creating an effectively bleak experience.

- “The double jump/fall break mechanic felt kind of janky at first, but it allowed me to make a fall straight to the end without any stops, which was neat.”
- “Otherwise, it has an interesting narrative, but the gameplay itself involves basic platforming and dialogue interaction.”
- “Yet the game unfolds over 2 levels and 2 exposition chapters, the first gameplay level being unpolished to egregious amounts.”
- “The double jump/fall break mechanic felt kind of janky at first, but it did allow me to make a fall straight to the end without any stops achievable, which was neat.”
