    • “The random ramblings in between each theater segment were just confusing, and I have no idea what the story was trying to say.”
    • “Solumcess is a bit better but really repetitive; you just do an audio minigame over and over, and story-wise I still didn't understand anything even after getting all the endings.”

    The gameplay of "Theater Unrest" and "Solumcess" has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it tedious and pretentious, particularly criticizing its reliance on walking simulator mechanics and unclear messaging. In contrast, "Solumcess" offers engaging core mechanics involving radio frequency scanning that enhances the suspense and mystery, with effective jumpscares that maintain player interest throughout the experience. Overall, while some elements are appreciated, the execution varies significantly between titles.

    • “The jumpscares came when I least expected them to; the creepy and suspense factor is consistent throughout the whole gameplay, and the mystery of what is going on never leaves.”
    • “+ Scrubbing through radio/tape static is always a good mechanic idea; I've been looking for an actual successor to Sylvio 1 for years.”
    • “Theater Unrest and Solumcess were testing my patience pretty hard because they were lame in their gameplay and pretentious in the way they were trying to convey messages, which left me not understanding anything.”
    • “The gameplay of Theater Unrest is basically just a PT clone mixed with the famous Little Theater creepypasta, making it a walking simulator where someone talks to you in gibberish non-stop, leading to confusion and unnecessarily lengthening the experience.”
    • “The core mechanics revolve around scanning a radio for empty frequencies, which allows a 'ghost' to contact you and helps you solve the trials ahead.”
  • atmosphere5 mentions
