I enjoyed close to the sun, one of those alternate reality braintrust stories but it works. The game itself is quite dark and the chasing sequences are little annoying but nothing that ruins the game. If you are looking for a bioshock inspired walking simulator I'd recommend 7/10.
Хороший хоррор для таких новичков, как я, кто вообще не прикасался к данной категории игр. Сюжет интересный, и с русской озвучкой от GamesVoice играется «вкусно». Хоррор часть тут больше всего пугает резкими и громкими звуками. Скримеры есть, и они сделаны, как по мне, качественно, потому что они появляются именно тогда, когда ты этого меньше всего ожидаешь. Погони тут сделаны нормально, единственное — не всегда понятно, куда бежать, так как есть много путей и только один из них будет правильным. Пока поймешь куда бежать, умрешь раза 2-3 и погони уже будут не так страшны, потому что привыкаешь. Поэтому повторюсь данная игра очень хороша для новичков, как я. Покупайте и играйте лучше в компании друзей (я сделала так), будет что пообсуждать по сюжету :В
theres a drastic change after the first couple chapters in a good way and if you like timeline stuff or paradoxes youll probably like the story mostly a walking style of game with lite puzzle elements the worldbuilding was really nice the aesthetic of the world felt pretty genuine not pieced together withought though
Honestly, it was a really good experience n___n The story hooks you in right away and keeps you interested throughout the journey. What stood out to me the most were the ciphers lol they were incredibly entertaining to solve and added a great layer to the gameplay. Beyond the puzzles, the overall message of the game resonated with me quite a bit.

No manual save and automatic save is only at the start of the chapter? I want my £3 back.
Il gioco è ok, carino. Sfortunatamente non si possono rimappare i tasti della tastiera o dell mouse, né impostare il "premi una volta per correre".
I'm really torn with this one, first of all I want to congratulate the design team, like wow! The esthetic pulls you right into the story which are the strong points for this game. Normally I don't really browse that much through the collectable story, but these really seemed to catch my eye, and gave a lot of expose in hindsight. Walking through this enormous ship that actually feels lived in, unreal engine 4 is used to it's full potential. But then the biggest flaws come around with the gameplay which to be frank is quite lacking, the puzzles aren't difficult whatsoever, some of the mechanics don't seem works 100% of the time (vaulting during a chase and simply pressing a button). The chase scene's don't really seem life or death since they are a bit overused. The story feels incomplete, because you don't get the other pov of the story and therefore the overall game time is quite short. I completed the game 100% in 4.1 hours, which I think might even be on the longer side. AND.. the main thing I can't get over is the lack of options! Like sometimes the game is just so incredibly dark I can't see where I'm walking. No gamma slider No pov slider No save states to reload later on. It's only chapter based These last few to me were inexcusable for a game released in 2020. Anyways, I'd recommend getting this one on a nice sale. The worldbuilding + story is really pulling this one out of a negative review 6..3/10
