About
Delve into a first person adventure game world where augmented reality extends your gameplay, seamlessly blurring the lines between reality and fantasy.
Here's a small overview on how the AR companion "hint" app works. The AR is based on native smartphone WebAR technology (Android/Apple AR quicklook technolgy) - no extra app download needed.

In the murky haze of an unsettling fog, a fateful bond is shattered as your faithful companion vanishes into the watery abyss. When consciousness returns, you find yourself stranded on an enigmatic oil rig, a haunting testament to the unknown. Bizarre and otherworldly objects litter the rig's deck, their unearthly presence mocking the laws of reality. As a pulsating pain grips your skull, an enigmatic and perilous odyssey unfolds, beckoning you to uncover the secrets that lie hidden within this twisted realm.

Fairly short walking simulator, with a few hidden object type puzzles. The QR codes are clever touch. I had trouble viewing them in my phone so I just put the scanned URLs into my browser on the computer and it was much easier to navigate them. The price point is a little steep for the experience in my opinion. But it does have a good Lovecraft ambiance.
No thanks. Uninspired story and awkward interface. Focus on making a good game instead of AR integration next time.
不配这个价格好吧,但是画面还算中规中矩 玩法也是一泡污 报完
[h3]良作だと思うが…[/h3] ホラーテイストのアドベンチャー ゲームは謎解きがメインです アクションシーンも一部ありますが厳しくはないのでアクション苦手な方でも安心です ホラーのタグがついていますが、それ程怖くはないです かつて人だったものがたまに転がっているくらいですね ジャンプスケア等のホラー演出を期待している方には不向きだと思います 良い所 ・グラフィックと雰囲気は抜群に良い ・ちょうど良い所にセーブポイントがある ・バグはなかった [h3]ヒント機能[/h3] 本作はゲーム中にQRコードがあり、スマホで読み取るとヒントが表示されます 自分はこの種の体験は初めてだったので新鮮でした なお、この機能は必須ではないのでスマホを使うことに 何かしらの不安を感じる方は使用しない方がいいかもしれません ※QRコードについて 掲示板に開発者のコメントがあります 不安な方はご一読ください [h3]クリアした感想[/h3] めちゃくちゃ面白いとまではいかないが、まずまず楽しめました ただ[spoiler]最後は良く分からない終わり方でした まぁ、クトゥルフ神話系なので多少はね[/spoiler] ウォーキングシミュが好きな方にはおすすめです 気になる方はセールの時にでも
The game starts off promising with a cutscene that lets us know what we're in store for. The main menu looks sleek. Work has gone into that. The game features voice over work which is noice. Can see the lovecraft influence off the bat. The game revolves around the main character usin QR codes to help guide em thru the levels. We essentially have to go thru portals to progress. There are some frame drops in certain areas but nothin game breakin'. Had a solid experience with the hour ish spent in game. Pick it up if ur a lovecraft fan.

[quote][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/9686972/]Follow "[b]First Person Exploration and Puzzle Games[/b]" for more games like this![/url][/quote] Absolutely terrible UX. I have no idea what I'm doing, or why I'm doing it. They make no effort to guide the player to do what they want them to do. The map is filled with invisible walls, except where it isn't and you just fall off the map to your death. Everything is dark and blurry and abberated. It was just an exercise in frustration.
画质还可以,玩法一头雾水,价格与内容不符。
Gameplay na godzinę. Cała gra to kilka prostych plansz, bardziej demo. Grafika mocno średnia - niedopracowana, tekstury się nie doczytują, postać się często baguje lub przenika tekstury. Przykład staranności - płomień świec jest nieruchomy. Fabuła i akcja - no tragedia. Może i ktoś miał jakiś pomysł na grę, może nawet dobry, ale wykonanie fatalne. Za grę nie warto dać więcej niż 5 zł, bo będzie żal.
Great atmosphere in this game! Lots of creepy moments. The sound does a lot too, especially with headphones. The AR stuff is fun, but the puzzles are rather easy. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
Absolutely stunning graphics & audio. The game really immerses you in a dark atmosphere. Maybe after I play Half-Life 2 back in 2004, this is the most similar game like feel and gameplay. There's good puzzles & augmented reality, which is awesome idea & realisation! Support indie devs!
