I Was extremely interested in this game. after my friend showed it to me i was very interested in the world and its lore and I want to start this by saying I think this did a great job in that regard. the Story is immeresive and fun and genuniely has some good horror elements attached to it. If you enjoy games with liminal spaces, this does it very well. Moving on to why I gave this a bad review. Because genuinely the game felt like it had a great format and gameplay loop, the puzzles felt interesting and entertaining. until past chapter 4. chapter 5 and 6 in terms of this game is mediocre at best. The story within itself Feels rushed and sloppy. and here's some of the main gripe's i had with the game at this point. - I found the new enemy to be interesting. and having them go invisible made sense to me. however you would think the item you can take with you to track guys in the vents would also track these invisble creatures. It does not. - the gameplay loop for both 5 and 6 was extremely unsatisfying. Because while it was intriguing to play as a scientist. it felt dull after the first loop, it would have been a far more interesting selling point to flip the duo mechanic on its head. and when the first science team is attacked have one person play as a survior and one as a new Scientist. But instead they took the route with two new scientist basically spending half of the chapter backtracking the same work you did in the last gameplay. which felt unfun and frankly boring. - the ending felt rather rushed and didnt make too much sense. even with a large amount of lore being centered around the disc you can find. it doesnt feel like a fun or interesting ending to everything the game's been building up to. -I Have hopes they make an episode Seven? but it's doubtful. I saw on their discord that they made episode six cut into two parts because they were worried about the length? but The gameplay within itself took me and my partner relatively an hour of gameplay to get through it...and felt pointless? All in all i think the game itself is great. but the ending was very poorly done.
