This game really needs more polish. Even for early access, it's rough. The concept is interesting, but I don't think I'll try it again for about a year.

I'm one to back early access games and let them polish out over time. However, this game isn't playable in its current state, for me at least. I tried playing with friends and one couldn't hear the others. We joined her game and our mics bugged out like hers was in our game. That's fine, we can use Discord to chat. We start the game. I crash every single time on trying to load in. Guess I can't play multiplayer. I try playing solo. Things are bugged left and right to the point of being unusable. The shelf is invisible. Items are unreachable. The drone places inside of objects and I have zero idea how to work it. I click something and instantly die. I can't even experience the game to give it a proper review. I might come back to this in the future, but it really should've been refined more before going to early access. Was it even alpha tested? I'm not even sure the gimmick of solving puzzles is going to be interesting enough when the wrinkles are ironed out (especially in solo play). I guess I just have to refund it.

Fun game! Definitely in a more polished state now than it was when it released last year.

Concept is good however some of the bugs are game-breaking and ruin the fun. Buy right now only if you plan to support the devs. I will probably play from time to time but only in brief periods until they polish it up a bit more. Will change recommendation to positive once game-breaking bugs addressed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqCmAli2BPQ Update 11/15/21 Game has improved via patches and is more playable now. There's a lot of work that still needs to be done. Switching review to positive as the developers are actively fixing and patching. Now we need more maps, balance, and etc. An easy mode where you don't lose money when you party wipe (any equipment brought is lost) would be great. Free items like a flashlight and photo camera would be good too. Always on flashlight (it turns off when you switch objects) would be even better. Update 1/6/22 No update since November. Discord is pretty much dead. No visible trello or development plan. Developer is silent. Switching back to negative.

This game is a lot of fun. My heart was racing the whole time I played and I had several jump scares. Its exciting to pay solo but I would recommend playing with some friends. The teamwork element makes the game way more fun. There are some bugs but the game is in early access so that is to be expected. Once the game gets polished, I can see it being up there with Phasmaphobia. I would highly recommend for anyone who likes this genre.

After getting this game, playing for awhile it was ok. Developers never do anything or update it. Should have been a free to play game

Sadly at this stage the game is not in any form of working order, I had to refund it after 16 minutes of playtime. I don't like to leave negative reviews but sadly I have to as the game is full of bugs making it unplayable. Dropped my flashlight and then picked it up again, yet the flashlight stayed on the floor? But also showed in my inventory? But then would not turn on? Picked up various items around the map that would just disappear into think air. I am primarily a horror gamer and this sadly just did not work or feel like it feel into the category for me. The concept is good and I hope after some improvements and fixes it may be worth picking up again.

I like this game alot. Unlike Phasmo and Ghc, this is not a typical ‘ghost hunt’ game. You dont have evidence to gather but equipment to help you survive. The entity is constantly roaming. Puzzle boxes are some where new all the time and key cards are never in the same place. Its a game that’s challenging enough to keep you wanting more.
