story

The story is criticized for being confusing and overwhelming due to abrupt jump cuts and rushed exposition, which detracts from the overall experience. While the cinematic segments show potential for storytelling within the game setting, the narrative lacks depth and fails to build suspense effectively.
- “The jump cuts to Jenny and the quick-vision cinematics feel very out of place. The story is difficult to follow as it gets thrown at you like a truck in the first 2 minutes, leaving me very confused.”
- “It doesn't add a great deal of value to the experience. It would be a great opportunity to use sequencer (UE5) to create some cinematics that allow story to be told from within the car, especially since you have friends in the car with you at a point.”
- “We barely know the story, and we already know what the threat looks and sounds like, which reduces the fear.”
music

The music is generally decent but the sound mixing is imbalanced, with music and sound effects louder than voices. Additionally, the lack of environmental sounds like wind detracts from the overall audio experience.
- “Default sound mixing is a little off; music and sound effects are louder than voices. Some of the voice acting is decent, like Jenny, although the main character seems to use a Microsoft voice.”
- “While the music is decent, there are no environmental sounds, like wind.”
