9 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay offers a unique and interesting take on survival horror with good exploration and mechanics, but is marred by frustratingly precise stealth and chase sequences that demand exact timing. The lack of a dodge mechanic and tight map design add to the challenge, making the gameplay enjoyable mostly for dedicated fans willing to adapt to its quirks. Some improvements and polishing could enhance the overall experience.
“Really good spicier Resident Evil-type game; good exploration, outfits, and game mechanics.”
“To finish this lengthy review, I recommend this game to any survival horror fan—it has some interesting and unique mechanics and ideas!”
“Stealth gameplay feels fresh and pretty unique.”
“Very badly designed chase and stealth mechanic; the developer wants you to do every detailed exact step with precise timing in the stealth section.”
“There is also no dodge mechanic, which could've alleviated the frustrations caused by the prior issue and added some relief in the tight maps they want you to move through; it's a recipe for disaster.”
“Now, I don't know if Steam allows developers to lower base game prices after release, but with how frustrating these mechanics are and how pinpoint you have to be to interact with objects, this game needs some tweaks to polish it properly.”
