story3 positive mentions
stability3 negative mentions
  • The game features an engaging horror atmosphere with a good foundation and unique level design that changes and rearranges, reminiscent of PT.
  • The developer is active and passionate, consistently providing updates and bug fixes, showing promise for future improvements.
  • Some aspects such as the intro music, voice acting (notably the accent), ragdoll effects with the shotgun, and jump scares provide enjoyable moments.
  • Controls and performance are problematic, with issues like poor mouse control, low frame rates even on high-end hardware, lag, and bugs including getting stuck and lack of save feature.
  • The gameplay is repetitive and lacks clear direction, mainly revolving around searching for keys which can be tedious, overly hidden, or frustrating, sometimes in very dark areas without proper lighting.
  • The game heavily relies on stock Unity assets leading to a lack of originality, presence of invisible or missing walls, clipping issues, and an unfinished feel, causing many players to view it as an asset flip and unpolished.

  • story

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, -25% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The story is currently minimal and underdeveloped, with users appreciating the atmospheric elements and ambience but finding limited narrative depth. Some players encountered gameplay issues due to darkness that hindered progress, making the story less engaging overall. The game shows potential but may benefit from a more fleshed-out story in future updates.

    • “I like the story idea, changing environments, the ambience, and the few jump scares I encountered.”
    • “The atmosphere and the way the game runs is very good, even if the story is not very deep yet.”
    • “I think this game has a lot of promise but I would probably hold off on purchasing until it has more of a story.”
    • “At the moment of this review, there isn't much of a story at all from what I can tell.”
    • “I think this game has a lot of promise, but I would probably hold off on purchasing until it has more of a story.”

    • “At the time, it was really buggy.”
    • “Buggy, but the idea was there.”

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    • “Game ran just fine; no performance issues whatsoever.”
    • “Poor performance causing lag while looking around”

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions
