damn good
I think this game is fantastic. I have my strengths and weaknesses when it comes to specific puzzles, so it has been very fun for me to steamroll a puzzle and feel so smart only to be hit with my worst nightmare and take over 30 minutes to figure it out. I love that there is a high variety of puzzles that will still call back to solutions or functions you had to use in order to solve another. Genuinely just a great game from the vibes to the gameplay etc. Highly recommend.
I've been looking forward to this game since the first look I got of it many years ago at PAX, and I'm so happy to report it has not disappointed me even one little bit. A fantastic bit of deduction horror, with snippets of narrative in devastating ways. 10/10
It's a really good game but it needs a few more quality of life things like a higher walkspeed and a few more hints. Other than that it's really fun and provides plenty of content
Such a good game with lots of depth, and uses the fear of the unknown very well. I would 100% recommend to someone who loves puzzle games.
This was a great game! There were only a few things that i felt like i needed a few extra hints on, but ultimately a lot of the puzzles were the perfect mix of challenging and intuitive so that it didn't feel like i was breezing through the game. Would recommend this for anyone looking to pick up a puzzle game that doesn't mind it getting a little psychological horror-y on you.
Highly Recommend. The overarching story is both shown and told without being spoonfed to the player and maintains it seriousness and depth. Just enough "horror" to be creepy and unsettling but still playable. The puzzles are challenging and engaging. I appreciate the option to have the CRTV graphics on or off. I thoroughly enjoyed this game and will be replaying and recommending it to all of my friends.
Mano, esse jogo é DO CARALHO MUITO bom, extremamente criativo, divertido, desafiador, e tudo faz muito sentido. Só fiquei travado em um puzzle, mas acho que foi literalmente por exaustão mental, fazia tempo que não pensava tanto assim! Espetacular!
