Game sucks really hard. First of I wanna say this game used to cost money, but since some time it got completly free. And damn I would be pissed if I would have payed for it. Even for free, I really can't recommend it. It's a puzzle horror game though way more on the puzzle side. And this is also the biggest problem the game has: the map is too big, too confusing, you never know where to go or what to do next. And it's usually not the case that there are some super tough puzzles, but rather there are some story items you need which are incredibly hidden or like a vent behind a cabinet, like wtf. Super really unintuitive stuff. Often having to backtrack a lot. Without a guide you prob need like 20 hours to beat this. And it's not fun at all. How about that you get a loading screen almost every time you change the room, and believe me, you will do this a lot. There is also some platforming with one especially annoying room where you even have to backtrack multiple times and redo the platforming every time. As well as a minigame to defuse wire bombs, and one point the difficulty of it is like over 9k. There are also a few enemies in the game which you can actually kill, well some of them. Most enemies are spiders, and some you can kill, others you can't. But they don't look different and the game doesn't tell you if you can kill them or not. The combat system is terrible, but luckily you don't have to fight a lot. How about that checkpoints aren't always fair. The rooms are often way too dark and you have to use a camera with nightvision, similar to Outlast. The graphics suck, the few cutscenes suck, the little story there is is not understandable. Near the game of the game you have to do multiple chase sequences where you can't fight but instead have to "run" away. Those are also terrible, bc in those your walking speed is soooo sloowwww and your vision is extremly blurry that you can barely see anything. The devs prob tried to a game like Penumbra or Amnesia but made a really bad version of it. The only thing which is nice is that you can pick up almost every non-usable item, rotate them or throw them just like in Amnesia or Penumbra. Honestly I was so happy reaching the end of the game, so I would never have to play it again.
