A bit like Half-Life with some aspects. Headcrab like creatures, the facility design, and boxes to break. I think the Half-Life resemblance is the only thing that kept me playing after the first hour. Despite the game's description listing FPS-horror hybrid, and the trailer being quite combat focused, it's more of a horror game with some FPS moments. And the FPS part of the game isn't very good. It's old school, and at first is enjoyable enough. But as you play it just devolves into this room filled with enemies trope that is only fun if the gunplay is fun. Which it is not.
Traversal through the facility can be cumbersome and frustrating at times. You'll often find something you can interact with, but do not have a required item to do so. The game gives you a hint of where it is that's up for a handful of seconds. Not a terrible idea, but somewhat useless when you have to travel through winding hallways and become disoriented. Basically sometimes it can be easy to find the thing you're looking for. Other times it's difficult for little convenient reason. There's a ton of back and forth travel like this and it becomes tiresome.
There's some platforming or jumping on things to be done, and all of it is fairly negative. You've got baby legs, so can't jump high. Thankfully you can pick up boxes to jump on and then jump onto the other places. Though, sometimes you can't because of reasons I guess. So you decide that's the wrong place to jump up, and you go on a trek to find a new place that's probably right. Turns out the first place was the right place, but you have to put the box in the exact right spot in order to make the jump.
And, I made it fairly close to the end I think. But that dangling carrot no longer felt enticing.
