Its not great Like it has a cool premise but the game play is very minor and repetitive, and I don't think that the humor or dialogue really make up for that. There are multiple times in the game where you are just doing nothing waiting for something to happen, and the climax is very short and not really worth the time put in. Also the build up is very slow and there is like no actual scary moments in the game ;-;
I can see the vision, I think the concept for the game could be great, but it's just way too boring and repetitive. This is probably their first horror game (judging from their published Steam games), so I'll give them some slack, but you basically do the same thing for 5 days, with maybe something extra to do, or maybe some scare, but that's it. There are multiple sections in the game where you do nothing but wait, whether it be for the microwave to finish microwaving or just watching Chroma Corp ads. While I don't mind the Chroma Corp ads, other people probably do mind, and will probably be frustrated with how much waiting you do in the game. The scares are fine, one even got me, tho the boring and repetitive gameplay lessens the impact for me. I can tell passion was put into the game through all the short videos during the doomscrolling sections, the Chroma Corp commercials, and easter eggs put throughout the game, but I feel like the game is way too boring in my opinion.
Shouldn't add achievements if they are unobtainable
The game is very interesting, but unfortunately some parts get pretty repetitive and if you want to buy the game i reccomend it when it's on sale because sorry to the devs but it ain't worth 5€ / $ that much
This game is decent. That's it, its just okay, and just okay is not okay. This is a walking sim with nothing else
jonny razer is cool
This is a genius psychological horror game! there are many funny easter eggs in this game, and the jumpscare on day 7 genuinely got me. my only complaints are that it's short, (but I guess that's what a "Short-and-Sweet" game is like!) and that the achievements don't work for some reason. Other that that, I love this game!
no sé qué decir. lo voto positivo porque entiendo y respeto el mensaje que intenta. con bastante éxito, transmitir. pero es un walking simulator. hacés poco y sufrís el 98% del tiempo entre las publicidades insalteables, el texto insalteable, el scroll casi siempre insalteable, el microondas insalteable, y la voz del man que me da ganas de cagarlo a trompadas la verdad pero ta. todo lo demás bien. ah re.
Nothing happens. There is no gameplay. It's so on the nose it breaks your nose. Should be $1 not $5
boring and very predictable
