    49 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some praising its engaging sci-fi narrative and retro-futuristic aesthetic, while others criticize it for being predictable, shallow, and lacking depth. Players noted that while the story can be captivating for newcomers to the genre, it may fall flat for those familiar with similar themes.

    • “The retro-futuristic aesthetic was captured perfectly and the story seemed to be perfectly suited to the length of the game.”
    • “A very fun short space horror game with a great story and narration.”
    • “For those who are fans of Andrei Tarkovsky's filmography, you'll get a kick from Antifreeze's love letter to 'Solaris' - a linear storytelling game about a female space biologist who awakens to find her crew missing.”
    • “Overall, it’s a pretty rickety experience that’s clunky and unfocused even for its short form - and the story itself is insultingly bad.”
    • “It’s not terrifying, it isn’t engrossing, it’s drab, and it doesn’t even have enough volume to hold your attention for more than an hour; it lacks atmosphere, depth, or even a core loop outside of its entirely non-subtle story.”
    • “Primitive story and dumb characters.”

    • “The aesthetic is heavily influenced by 2001: A Space Odyssey in a very good way.”
    • “Fans of Solaris/2001: A Space Odyssey will enjoy the aesthetics and setting.”
    • “Changing a few graphic quality settings a bit lower and the game crashed.”

    • “Very atmospheric, loved it.”
    • “It’s not terrifying, it isn’t engrossing, it’s drab, and it doesn’t even have enough volume to hold your attention for more than an hour; it lacks atmosphere, depth, or even a core loop outside of its entirely non-subtle story.”
