Reviews
- Puzzles are well-designed, challenging but solvable, and reminiscent of classic point-and-click and escape room games.
- The game's aesthetic, environment design, and art style are appealing and create an immersive atmosphere.
- Developer has been responsive to bug fixes post-release and incorporated interesting puzzle mechanics that encourage observation and exploration.
- The story and character development are shallow, disjointed, and fail to engage players emotionally; characters are underdeveloped with minimal dialogue.
- The narrative feels incomplete and confusing, relying on a vague simulation twist and lacking proper lore explanation, leaving many players frustrated.
- The game feels unfinished or rushed with content cut (missing rooms/challenges), barebones UI, uneven pacing, and overall poor polish, which combined with a high price has disappointed many players and backers.
story
18 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is widely criticized for being poorly executed, confusing, and emotionally hollow, with underdeveloped characters and a fragmented, gimmick-reliant narrative. While some find the overarching lore and initial premise intriguing, the lack of clear explanation and meaningful stakes leaves many players disengaged. Overall, the story fails to deliver a satisfying or coherent experience despite its potential.
“The overarching lore spread throughout the story is interesting but utterly impenetrable.”
“The story starts out really intriguing, and I hope it finishes the same way it began: with a banger.”
“Add to that the nonsensical story which I still have absolutely no clue even after the true ending what it was even all about, as it leans heavily into psychological horror more than anything.”
“The story and characters are such massive pitfalls in comparison that I really struggle to recommend the game even with other good aspects.”
“A 'it was all a simulation' twist can work, but when your characters are completely unexplored, the lore isn't explained properly, you spend the whole game confused, and the singular driving force of the plot is revealed to have been made up, what exactly are you left with?”
“If more time and care was taken to flesh things out, I think there would be a real story here, but as it stands, it's just a shallow fragmented story relying on gimmicks to make you think more effort went into it than it actually has.”
