  • story
    82 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is widely criticized for being virtually non-existent, with many reviewers noting a lack of character development, plot coherence, and engaging narrative elements. While some mention a vague premise involving themes of greed and a villainous child, the overall execution is deemed poor, with no cutscenes or meaningful dialogue to enhance the experience. Many players express frustration over the absence of a compelling storyline, leading to a sense of aimlessness throughout the gameplay.

    • “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
    • “Discover a story where the greed of mankind can turn even the best of us into a demon.”
    • “This game was by far the best game I've played since half the other garbage horror games; this has a great story and great graphics, and the soundtrack will have you feeling the emotions of your character.”
    • “There’s only two soundtracks in addition to large, empty, and meaningless levels that are all poorly designed, enemies that don’t do damage (or have death animations), as well as having no discernible plot or character development.”
    • “That is the story description on the store page, but as far as I'm concerned, the main game has literally no story whatsoever.”
    • “This game has a plot that I can only describe as non-existent.”
  • graphics
    62 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed to negative feedback, with many users criticizing poor graphical fidelity, clumsy settings, and performance issues, including low frame rates and motion blur. While some players note that the graphics can be nice at times, others describe them as blocky and outdated, comparing them unfavorably to much older titles. Overall, the consensus suggests that the graphical experience is subpar and detracts from the gameplay.

    • “This game was by far the best game I've played since half the other garbage horror games. It has a great story and great graphics, and the soundtrack will have you feeling the emotions of your character, Mark.”
    • “Pretty nice game and nice graphics also :)”
    • “Very nice graphics for 2GB size.”
    • “Sure, you have a few graphics settings - but they're clumsy - you can't turn off motion blur, instead, you have to click 'low->medium->high->epic' on the settings and guess at which one might turn it off.”
    • “The alpha graphics are subpar - the game is absolute crap right now.”
    • “There is no game to critique, it has awful controls, no rebinding, two graphics options and literally broken combat (magic currently doesn't work). The FPS is incredibly low for something that looks like it's from a bargain 2001 PC game and it crashes constantly (10-15 times during my recording of footage).”
  • gameplay
    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been widely criticized for its poor execution, featuring glitchy mechanics, a lack of tutorials, and inconsistent weapon performance. Many reviewers noted the game feels outdated, reminiscent of early FPS titles, and suffers from a lack of engaging content, with minimal playable missions and a confusing interface. Overall, the gameplay experience is described as frustrating and unpolished, leaving players disappointed with its potential.

    • “That was that, but hey it was progress with about 45 minutes worth of glitchy but semi-fun gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay is equally and inexplicably shoddy - it's the same effectively as 1996's Quake, from id Software (it's 2016 now).”
    • “Inconsistent gameplay: sometimes the weapons do lots of damage, sometimes they don't.”
    • “I don't like having to unrecommend an FPS game with a promising premise, but this game has far too many lazy technical and gameplay problems.”
    • “Gameplay is equally and inexplicably shoddy - it's effectively the same as 1996's Quake from id Software (it's 2016 now).”
    • “So I paid my $10, I patiently waited for you to provide me with some exciting gameplay, a storyline, even a single playable mission would be fine by me, just one mission that outlines the potential of the finished product, but this is not even approaching that.”
  • music
    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the eerie and high-energy tracks that attempt to enhance the atmosphere, while others criticize the limited selection and lack of audio variety throughout the gameplay. Many noted that the soundtrack, although occasionally effective, is overshadowed by poor game design and silence during key moments. Additionally, concerns were raised about the use of unlicensed music, further detracting from the overall experience.

    • “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
    • “This game was by far the best game I've played since half the other garbage horror games; it has a great story and great graphics, and the soundtrack will have you feeling the emotions of your character.”
    • “Great music.”
    • “There’s only two soundtracks in addition to large, empty, and meaningless levels that are all poorly designed, enemies that don’t do damage (or have death animations), as well as having no discernible plot or character development.”
    • “Guns are not the only things that don't have any audio; most enemies don't even make a squeak, and often the game is in complete silence with garbage music playing in the background.”
    • “There’s this eerie-like song that tries to set the atmosphere of a horror shooter, but the only other track is this high-energy orchestral song that you hear in the main menu.”
  • stability
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is severely criticized, with multiple users reporting persistent bugs and glitches that hinder gameplay and progress. Despite being out of early access, players continue to experience major issues, including freezing, loading delays, and nonsensical AI behavior, leading to a near-unplayable experience. Overall, the consensus is that the game remains highly unstable and fails to deliver a polished experience.

    • “This is bad buggy beyond all reason for how long this has been on Steam.”
    • “Buggy from the start, unable to make any progress in the story right as the game starts.”
    • “Full of bugs and glitches to near-unplayability.”
  • humor
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised for its absurdity and unintentional comedic moments, with players finding themselves in tears from laughter at bizarre elements like a shaven-headed spider baby and poorly executed reloads. Many reviewers highlight the game's ability to be entertainingly bad, making it a great choice for streaming and a source of genuine hilarity. Overall, the game's humor is a standout feature that adds to its charm, despite its flaws.

    • “This game is so hilarious...”
    • “That is if you can stop laughing at your shaven-headed spider baby who melts through walls.”
    • “From the unskippable cutscene where the shiny man appears to stop just short of hitting the zombie's head against the wall repeatedly to the smirking ventriloquist who slowly explains the controls which were already shown to the player in the form of a low-resolution splash-screen, everything in this game is pretty funny right now.”
  • optimization
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is severely lacking, with users reporting significant performance issues, including frequent slowdowns and an inability to maintain 60 fps even during the opening sequence. Many describe it as feeling unfinished, with poor level design, AI, and numerous bugs contributing to a frustrating experience. While some hope for improvements in future updates, the current state is deemed unacceptable for a playable title.

    • “Again, it's an alpha, so I assume the less desirable features of the game will be ironed out at some point, but I almost wish it were simply optimized for smoothness and not changed in any other way.”
    • “-performance: my PC can run Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes with max graphics and becomes slow with this game... ha-ha.”
    • “It's also really unoptimized, so expect slowdowns like crazy in some spots.”
    • “The optimization is horrible, and just in the opening movie, I failed to hit 60 fps.”
    • “Bad performance, bad level design, bad sound, bad AI, bugs all over the place; the dev even changed its name to cover up the mess.”
  • atmosphere
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is widely praised, with users highlighting its unique design and effective use of sound to create an eerie ambiance suitable for a horror shooter. While some music tracks enhance the experience, there are mixed feelings about the contrast between the atmospheric and high-energy compositions. Overall, the atmosphere is described as great and excellent, contributing significantly to the game's appeal.

    • “- excellent atmosphere”
    • “There’s this eerie-like song that tries to set the atmosphere of a horror shooter, but the only other track is this high-energy orchestral song that you hear in the main menu.”
    • “I haven’t seen a game that featured that kind of design, and I figure if there’s a fully-functional horror game that can actually carry atmosphere, I’d be interested in playing it.”
  • character development
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate a significant lack of character development, with players noting the absence of a discernible plot and poorly designed characters. The overall design is criticized as "craptacular," contributing to a feeling of emptiness and meaninglessness in the game.

    • “There’s only two soundtracks in addition to large, empty, and meaningless levels that are all poorly designed, enemies that don’t do damage (or have death animations), as well as having no discernible plot or character development.”
    • “The character design and overall design of levels is completely craptacular.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game resonates deeply with players, evoking powerful feelings of nostalgia and familial bonds, particularly through poignant moments that highlight the stakes of personal choices. The narrative effectively captures the intensity of emotions, such as love and regret, making it a memorable experience for players.

    • “I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.' Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake.”
