Seeing Red

I think this game has potential if more attention is given to quality of life, than expansion at the moment. The physics are a little clunky, but that can be looked past. The game's "inventory" system is a bit awkward, and no where was I given an explanation that I needed to RMB to use the basement key on the basement door. I gave about 40 minutes to the game, and I would say my experience was lackluster, at least from a horror perspective. I would still recommend people give it a try, especially for only 99 cents. But it feels very early access still, even though it does not express that on the Store Page. For the little I have played (I got stuck in the caves, after I was provided a few more mags of ammo and painkillers under candlelight, there was a rock in my way and I couldn't find another way out) the art style and ambiance reminds me of some Giger-esque titles on Steam, such as Lust from Beyond or Scum, although I don't think the art style is very close in relation to Giger's work. It certainly has an eerie feel - but I find the game more frustrating than scary or fun at the moment. I do hope there are some updates to the UI, and that perhaps the game pauses while I am reading the Codex in the inventory system, or so that I can at least heal after respawning before the ground gremlins munch me to death again. Based on the trailer and thumbnails on the Store Page, I suspect there is much more to the game than presently seen for myself, and I look forward to being able to play through the remainder once I can figure out how to get out of the caves. I saw the news update, and I regret to hear that a staff member went and messed with the game, take your time devs, I look forward to what comes next!
