The gameplay is diverse and innovative, blending various mechanics while maintaining a spooky atmosphere, especially with the added DLC that introduces new content. However, some players find the combat lacking and the overall experience short, with about an hour of playtime across three difficulty levels. Despite mixed feelings, the unique concept is seen as worth trying.
“The gameplay is quite diverse, starting with a unique concept.”
“It's a really good concept, blending different gameplay styles; it's definitely worth giving it a try.”
“The DLC adds a whole new chapter to the game, introducing new mechanics while maintaining the spooky core.”
“The remaining amount of gameplay is going to be used contemplating your life and the poor decisions you've made. I wasted $15 on this game when I could be playing something entertaining instead.”
“The game comes with 3 difficulties and about 1 hour of gameplay from what I can tell in my playthrough.”

The game's story is largely criticized for being underdeveloped, lacking characters and depth, with many players expressing a desire for a more engaging narrative centered around real grey alien conspiracies. While the atmosphere and initial gameplay are praised, the transition to combat feels disconnected, and the classic "shoot and kill" approach is seen as overdone. Players hope for future updates that could expand the story and incorporate more intriguing elements related to alien themes.
“The atmosphere and overall grey alien theme were so cool; you don't see games with these kinds of scenarios at all. It was a must for me to try out as I've been waiting for a game like this. I wish we could see more real grey alien conspiracies grounded in this game, like abduction experiment scenes, underground alien bases, and government involvement. Hopefully, content like this gets included in the future.”
“The first half of the game was great, but when it got into combat and objectives, the game's feel took a different path. I hope the developers continue expanding the story, as there's huge potential here, and I love what they did with the first half.”
“Not to bash the story, but the classic shoot and kill these invaders has been overdone. Something grounded around real grey alien conspiracy would be so amazing to play.”
“There is no story or characters or anything.”
“The story is underdeveloped and the ending leaves much to be desired.”
“Not to bash your story, but the classic shoot and kill these invaders has been overdone, so something grounded around real grey alien conspiracy would be so amazing to play.”

The game's atmosphere is highly praised for its unique grey alien theme and immersive ambiance, particularly in the first half, which effectively builds tension and intrigue. However, as the gameplay shifts towards combat and objectives, the experience becomes less satisfying, with critiques aimed at the combat mechanics and a desire for deeper narrative elements related to alien conspiracies. Overall, while the atmosphere is a standout feature, there is a call for further development to enhance the gameplay experience.
“First off, I want to say the atmosphere and overall grey alien theme was so cool. You don't see games with these kinds of scenarios at all, so it was a must for me to try out as I've been waiting for a game like this. The first half was great, and the atmosphere really drew me in.”
“Atmosphere, the ambiance, and the sound effects keep you on your toes all the time.”
“Style and a nice atmosphere with a couple of good jump scares.”
“The atmosphere, the ambiance, and the sound effects keep you on your toes all the time.”
“The first half was great, but when it got into combat and objectives, the game's feel took a different path. I would say the game needs more work on combat, story development, and animations.”
