Intriguing cyberpunk survival horror concept blending point-and-click adventure and visual novel elements with a strong atmosphere.
Detailed graphics with atmospheric backdrops, lighting effects, and immersive sound/music design.
Innovative inventory and ammo management system reminiscent of classic survival horror games; puzzles and item interactions are engaging and well thought out.

Numerous technical issues including game-breaking bugs, glitches, crashes, and poor optimization leading to lag and stuttering.
Clunky controls with poor camera movement, no button remapping, and frustrating inventory physics causing item scattering and clipping.
Unpolished story and incomplete content with unfinished translations, limited character development, slow pacing, and short demo length leaving many unaddressed questions.

The graphics receive mixed feedback, with praise for atmospheric visuals, lighting, and shading that evoke a Resident Evil vibe, but criticism targets inconsistent texture quality, cheesy character models, and occasional glitches or optimization issues. While some find the visuals impressive and smooth, others note clunky animations and poorly loaded textures even at high settings. Overall, the graphics show promise but could benefit from further polish and technical refinement.
- “I thought the game's graphics looked incredible even on my computer - the fog, the lighting effects, the skin textures, all of it.”
- “The graphics and combat are amazing, the puzzles are great also the way that you can interact with objects is absolutely great, I can't wait to play the full game.”
- “The graphics, music, story, gameplay are all close to the standard of AAA games (close enough as a two-man dev team).”
- “Graphics are bad, character models are terrible, mechanics are clunky, gameplay feels very tedious and slow.”
- “Whole game textures didn't load and I played the game looking at horrible graphics on 'ultra' settings.”
- “Graphics glitch sometimes, seeing through surfaces or camera glitches to some weird angle.”

The gameplay combines classic survival horror elements with unique and engaging mechanics, such as a notable dodge system and innovative puzzle interactions. While some find the mechanics smooth and well-optimized, others mention clunky controls, tedious pacing, and frustrating reloading mechanics. Overall, despite minor flaws, the gameplay is praised for its immersive, interactive experience and stands out especially considering the small development team.
- “The elements of survival horror are here combined with very interesting mechanics.”
- “A very good take on the classic horror style, much like the original Resident Evil games with some good mechanics.”
- “One of my favorite things that I haven't seen before is part of the puzzle mechanic: you can interact with an object (e.g., a painting or a cabinet) and then use the WASD keys to look at all dimensions of said object.”
- “Graphics are bad, character models are terrible, mechanics are clunky, gameplay feels very tedious and slow.”
- “If you intend to stick to round-per-round reloading mechanic, at least give us an option to load a certain ammo type only.”
- “The only thing I really hated was the mechanics of reloading the gun.”

The story received mixed reviews, with some players finding it intriguing, mysterious, and immersive, while others criticized it as clichéd, confusing, or poorly executed. Many appreciated the puzzle and mystery elements, expressing eagerness to see the story develop further, though a few found it boring or lacking impactful action. Overall, the narrative is seen as promising but uneven in delivery.
- “Great game, good replayability, great storyline, overall a great game.”
- “I love this game, I am so excited to see where you two take the story.”
- “I can't wait to see where they go with the story and this prologue has left me craving more.”
- “The story is horrible cliche; it's obvious what they are going for and it's a horrible idea.”
- “Even though they put a lot of time into cutscenes (but unfortunately not enough to make them good), they are still bad and since the story fails really early, they are just a waste of time.”
- “It's trying to be immersive, but it's just boring and tiring, especially since I wasn't really interested in the story, and I didn't really get any action from the beginning until I quit.”
stability

The game currently suffers from numerous bugs and glitches, particularly in hit detection, damage consistency, and the inventory system where items frequently clip or glitch. While these issues can be inconvenient, they do not render the game unplayable, and users remain hopeful for stability improvements in future updates.
- “The inventory system, while cool, is very buggy and items will constantly clip into each other and ping out of the backpack while you're trying to sort the inventory.”
- “The item I have come across this bug most with is the 9mm ammo box; after you have closed it, the box goes back into the inventory but phases through the backpack bottom or glitches into other items such as key cards which I keep in the bottom.”
- “Damage done, even with different ammo (incendiary, explosive, armour piercing), can be buggy and not consistent.”

The game suffers from significant optimization issues, causing poor performance and frequent stutters despite modest graphical demands. However, improvements in mechanics optimization and visuals are noted, suggesting that fixing bugs and enhancing optimization could greatly improve the experience.

- “Nice work on visuals and nice optimizations on mechanics.”
- “It can be more optimized.”
- “This game almost cooked my GPU due to very poor optimization.”
- “A demo of excellent ideas and presentation bogged down by terrible performance and some of the worst combat in the genre.”
- “I experienced constant stutters even though this game doesn't have much graphics-wise (meaning small areas), which indicates it's not optimized.”
