this is a really cool walking simulator with a couple puzzles mixed in. please don't pay full price for this, but experience it if you'd like.
look, i dont want to give it a Thump up but i definitely dont want to give it a thumb down. if you like cyberpunk more than lovecraftian, you'll like this. for the love of god please triple check your gamma calibration, i had no clue that my gamma was way too dark untill half way through last chapter. it definitely needs a few tweaks, like the interaction indicator not showing up sometimes or you have to be looking exactly on the object which was annoying, some of the object just blend too much into the environment which makes you not notice it. most of the puzzles, clues and etc were moderately easy and challenging, i was borderline considering googling answers, but in saying that, the astrology map i straight up had to google it, i couldnt find the clues anywhere. it was a fun and interesting game, just make the indicators and interaction objects a little more obvious.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

На самом деле очень необычная игра. В текущих реалиях посоветовать ее можно только тем кому нравится творчество Лавкрафта и по большой скидке. Тут смешиваются жанры киберпанк, Лавкрафтовские ужасы, детектив. И в общем могла получится крутая смесь. Киберпанк часть вроде и не плохая - но простоватая - сильно маленькие, простые декорации, то-ли люди, то-ли андройды все на одно лицо. Да чувствуется дух Observer но это и не плохо. Но в общем даже так мне понравилось. Детективная часть - ужасная реализация поиска предметов передвигая курсор как в point'click квестах. Видно, что механика прикручена что бы просто была. Тут сильно просто и бедно к сожалению. Лавкрафтовские ужасы - вот это атмосферно, красиво. Есть мини игры загадки - прикольно, на самом деле разнообразят процесс. Есть две встроенные игры вплетенные в сюжет отсылающие к system shock и alone in the dark - прикольно разнообразят на самом деле процесс. Есть возможность пропустить и обе игры и некоторые головоломки - игра сама предлагает если у игрока не получается, на самом деле прикольно. Графически на 7 из 10, местами сильно хорошо, местами похуже. Но есть прямо очень красивые места. Сюжет запутан, но в общем интересен. Но думаю понравится только если вы способны принимать недосказанность. Мне не очень такое нравится. Но так как недосказанность, идея, что люди сильно простые существа и не способны понять высшие силы - это основа Лавкрафта - то в принципе нормально :) Скримеров нет, но атмосфера хоть и слабо, но все таки передана. Чувствуется безысходность, неизвестность, потустороннее. Жаль, что игру не дотянули. И дело не в том, что это в основе симулятор ходьбы, ведь такая игра как Nobody Wants to Die например тоже по сути тупо симулятор ходьбы и у нее получилось заинтересовать геймеров. У этой игры были все шансы заинтересовать, и обратить на себя внимание, так как игр с таким сюжетом и атмосферой (смеси трех жанров) наверное и нет больше. К сожалению вероятно не хватило финансов :(

- Game is combination of cyberpunk style/H.P Lovecraft/little bit horror. - Story nothing mind blowing but nice to experience if you are interested H.P Lovecraft stylish stuff. - Game play is mostly walking simulator/puzzle solving because your character can`t die in this game. - Game play/story decent but nothing special but still it`s nice to play through one time. Hard to say if this better than previous game from same studio (also lovecraft stylish Conarium game) In my opinion maybe conarium better. - Maybe 6/10 on this (Conarium i give 7/10) nice game experience but nothing mind blowing or very special. (I got this goodly discounted price maybe not worth the nearly 20 euros basic price in my opinion)
