The gameplay has generated excitement from the demo, but many players feel it becomes underwhelming after that initial experience. While there are some story elements to discover outside of the elevator, the overall gameplay lacks depth, leading some to question its value at full price.
“I saw gameplay of the demo, and that got me excited for this one.”
“There isn't much to the gameplay itself as a good bit of the story is done on the elevator, but once you make it off the elevator, there are some story bits that you can find to expand the game world a bit.”
“It's still not that expensive, but I would have felt robbed if I had paid the full price and saw the underwhelming gameplay that came after the demo ended.”
