Вы берете на себя роль добровольца в исследовательской группе №4, одной из многих, выполняющих задачу - проникнуть в параллельные вселенные и исследовать безлюдные измерения, населенные существами, чуждыми нашей реальности. Каждая локация, это искаженный вариант привычного мира, хранящий свои истории, с которыми вам предстоит познакомиться. Геймплейно это симулятор ходьбы с чтением записок, сильного вовлечения за счет него ждать не стоит, игра увлекает именно атмосферой. Она здесь мощная: чувство пустоты и отсутствия жизни в посещаемых местах передано прекрасно. Одиночество нарушают лишь жуткие создания, таящиеся в углах домов и среди деревьев. Хоррорная часть игры лишена скримеров. Да, пару раз будут легкие намеки на что-то похожее, но не более. Акцент сделан на тревоге и напряжении из-за чьего-то присутствия. Вы его слышите, ощущаете, но глаза никого не встречают. Неизвестность и темнота работают лучше любого дешевенького скримера. Звуковое оформление отлично дополняет гнетущую обстановку. Благодаря интересному и необычному сюжету игра быстро завладевает вниманием. Абсолютно разные локации объединены общей идеей и не воспринимаются как каша, а дизайн уровней продуман и визуально приятен. Иногда встречаются проблемы с оптимизацией - при поворотах камеры случаются припадки, однако в остальном играется комфортно. Серьезных багов, мешающих комфортному прохождению, замечено не было. Рекомендую тем, кто любит исследовательские хорроры без геймплейного напряга (стелса и головоломок). Это интересное сочетание научной фантастики и хоррора, где вы исследуете новые миры. Учтите, игра полностью на английском и диалоги не сопровождаются субтитрами. В большинстве случаев это не мешает - основная информация подается через записки, однако финал все же требует понимания речи на слух. В целом - отличный выбор на один спокойный вечер с научной атмосферой и чувством тревожного одиночества.

It's funny that my first review was about Greyhill Incident. And this game reminded me of it. Unfortunately the same problems. Talking about myself, I am a HUGE fan of UFO projects and wait for every single thing about it. But nowadays it definitely fails to impress. So, we have fine visuals, REALLY disturbing sounds and an interesting story, at least at first. But what happens next? We encounter our first alien in the house and that's it. It made me laugh so hard. Though, I see that it is more about our perception of aliens and the way we would like to see them. But I don't like it at all. Pink humanoid following you when you don't look at it is very stuffy and old. The gameplay itself made some of my movements weird cause I couldn't find the last artifact for long despite the fact that I was always following the narrative. One day, we will see a worthy UFO game without strong cthulhu inspiration and certainly without that old sci-fi looking at aliens.
This "game" is really just a demo, maybe of something bigger to come(?). There was no challenge to any of the levels, as you're basically guided on what to do from start to finish. There are a few creepy moments here and there, especially near the beginning with the UFO/aliens - reminded me of F.E.A.R. a bit - but you quickly realize that their isn't much harm in what you see/hear. It's all psychological. Which would be fine if the game were longer than 3 hours (and I took my sweet and thorough time exploring everything.) The story was incomplete, meaning you never really understand why you're doing what your doing, and the closing act and "explanation" didn't explain much of anything. I was really just glad to be done with it, honestly.
Had high hopes for this game, but I don't like it. Spent hour walking around in circles in the snow in the woods with no idea what to do. Two lights and a raggedy building you can't interact with anything in it. I'm bored. There was no story buildup or anything. Just go here, go there and go to sleep. BOOOOOOO !
So I dont think this is what the game was going for, but I found it HILARIOUS!! It was like watching a B Movie horror movie, and I mean this in the BEST way possible! It had me laughing so hard but it was still very fun! Lots of cool visuals and set pieces! I think the last few levels could have used a bit more "stalker" enemies that are a bit more deadly - that said I enjoyed it thoroughly giving large inspiration from cabin in the woods
Had a lot of fun with this one but in the last hour of the game my flashlight bugged out and broke, managed to get by without it until the last 20 minutes, restarting, verifying files nothing helped and the entire section was unplayable without it. Had to watch the end of the game on Youtube.
Great small game :)
Buggy, Gamebreaking bugs multiple times when saving and quitting. I cant even progress in the second section after ending my gaming session and reopening it.
This game is unplayable. Frame rate literally bounces like a yoyo. Can't even get the settings to apply the configurations. Would've refunded it but it was sitting on my shelf for too long. The least the developer could do is patch the game. Absolute disgrace.
