The game can be quite demanding to run. Here are our recommended settings based on your graphics card. We recommend keeping the scalability setting on “High” or above whenever possible, as lowering it has a significant impact on visual quality. Don’t worry though, the game is still enjoyable even if your system can’t run with the scalability on High.

Beautiful and interesting game its very short but its still very good <3
Interesting short game, would be cool to have a full game with more of the story.
You Got A Banger! Just wish it was longer. But Great Game! Watch My Gameplay Below! https://youtu.be/E3H0Accum7g?si=07eS1u1ifIj13lJt
https://youtu.be/sGy1xemZedA really enjoyed your game!
Umm, WOW. What an amazing short game. The graphics were awesome, the lighting, the animations of the character were stuning, the atnosphere was good, the sounds were very good along with the ambience sounds and the level design is simply amazing. A lot of work went into this err demo, but I do hope they release a full game like this, I for one will buy it. I wish it was longer, but for a free game, well worth the time I put into it. 10/10.
It was a short game. I gathered from the description that the main character is a seasoned detective searching for a missing colleague. However, aside from that, I have no idea what the actual gameplay was about—though the graphics and design were excellent. Is this meant to be a prologue to the main game? It needs more detailed background information and a longer playtime!
Х*у*е*та. Деда вы*е*б*л*и тентаклями.
