  • gameplay
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its innovative shrink and grow mechanics, which are simple and enjoyable, but many reviewers feel these features are underutilized. While the game is fun and offers a compelling story, it lacks depth due to limited content and mechanics, suggesting that a sequel could greatly enhance the experience with more complex puzzles and improved gameplay elements. Overall, the game shows promise as a student project but leaves players wanting more.

    • “Even for a student project, it is brilliant and I had such a fun time with the mechanics of changing one's size.”
    • “Fun game, interesting mechanic, easy puzzles, slightly forced dialogue at the beginning but fun story throughout.”
    • “It's not often you come by a new game mechanic, but you did it in your student project.”
    • “It could be turned into a proper game by simply adding more content: more 3D models in the rooms, more levels, some more mechanics.”
    • “Seemed like the growing mechanic was underused.”
    • “I hope the team is making a sequel with bigger and more complex puzzles with this mechanic.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for its relaxing qualities and atmospheric depth, evoking a grim and eerie vibe reminiscent of SCP themes. However, some users note that the music does not loop effectively, which detracts from the overall experience.

    • “The sound and music create an atmosphere that reminds me of an SCP kind of vibe; it's grim and grey, and with that background music, you just hope that you're going to get jump scared and attacked by the shy guy.”
  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is praised for its engaging voice lines and a surprisingly realistic narrative centered around science funding, which adds depth to the gameplay. While some dialogue feels slightly forced at the beginning, players find the overall story enjoyable and compelling enough to keep their attention throughout.

    • “The voice lines are really good and tell a nice story... was not expecting a realistic science funding storyline.”
    • “Fun game, interesting mechanic, easy puzzles, slightly forced dialogue at the beginning but fun story throughout.”
    • “In the game, the person who is talking to you while doing the tests mentions that one of the higher-ups is coming to visit, and they could use this as a sort of budget upgrade for more test story-wise.”
    • “The only game where I have ever listened to the whole story.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are described as simplistic and unremarkable, contributing to an overall lackluster visual experience. The aesthetic is likened to a backrooms-like environment, but without any engaging elements, making the game visually unappealing and difficult to enjoy.

    • “Currently, the game is incredibly painful to play; from the bad quality voice acting to the chunky movements and the boring graphics.”
    • “The game itself almost has a backrooms-like aesthetic, but without the monsters.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent glitches occurring in the initial area, including player models floating and obstructing progress. These problems, combined with poor camera movement, render the game nearly unplayable for many users.

    • “Bad game; it literally glitches out in the first area 90% of the time. I can't get out the door because the player model starts floating. That, mixed with some horrible fake handheld camera movement, makes this unplayable.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally feel that the game requires further optimization to enhance performance and overall experience.

    • “Other than that, I think this game just needs to be optimized a little bit more.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is characterized by a grim and grey aesthetic, reminiscent of SCP themes, enhanced by unsettling background music that heightens the anticipation of jump scares and encounters with eerie entities like the shy guy.

    • “The sound and music create an atmosphere reminiscent of SCP, with a grim and grey vibe. The background music sets the stage for jump scares, making you feel like you're about to be attacked by the Shy Guy.”
    • “The sound and music create an atmosphere reminiscent of SCP, with a grim and grey vibe. The background music makes you hope for a jump scare, as if you're about to be attacked by the Shy Guy.”
