“The graphics in *the morgue fissure between worlds* were very effective in creating and sustaining a building sense of dread and tension.”

“The game is made using the Unity engine and it's not horribly looking graphics but not impressive at all too.”
“Chapter 1 seemed to have some potential but a lot of issues I ignored such as no settings or collision and mediocre graphics, high sensitivity, etc. There really is no UI or any sort of options other than play the game and quit.”
