Beautiful text based horror game and i love the sounds and atmosphere. I WANT MORE ZEEKERS
By far one of the most immersive and scariest games I've ever played, and it didn't even need visuals to do it! The writing is like a modern day Alice In Wonderland, surreal and creepy, but whimsical. It's a world I want to get lost in. It took me nearly 52 hours to see everything this game had to offer, and I'm still sure I missed stuff. This game really is like an open world. Even without environments, the text is so well written that you can really visualise every unique location. Exploring is truly fun! My only gripe is that I wish the map was easier to log, since sometimes the Go Elsewhere's aren't clear exactly which direction you've moved, making it easy to mess up your map grid. I also wish there was a quicker way to replay scenes you've already seen. But other than that, a true masterpiece.

Never before have I been more betrayed by train tracks.
This game is for gay people who have lots of time on their hands. I may be gay, but I don't have the time for this ♥♥♥♥ dude. Tedious as hell. Unpolished. Not at all scary. Overrated just because it's made by Zeekers. ♥♥♥♥ my puppy girl life.
This game is great, and I got super into the world and story. But I couldn't finish the game because the red door was bugged, I had already done the red door another attempt, but all future attempts were impossible for accessing the last item. So at it's current state I can't recommend it to others, until more stuff gets patched out. Especially game breaking bugs like that
Exploring this world was really really fun. I enjoyed unraveling the mystery and REALLY enjoyed making my own map to do it. It's weird and convoluted at times but if you explore and REALLY try you will find the places you need to go. It's tedious getting back to places after you die to try again but trying new things makes up for it when something cool or silly happens. I really enjoyed this game.
[h1]Unfortunately, Welcome![/h1] to my review. We all go to the reviews. I'm yet to escape, and you will probably take awhile too. But there's so much to this weird, truely dream-like world that almost doesn't make you want to leave! I love this game for its frankly interesting, ambiguous main character. For its insanely creative world, and characters. For its simple-ish but in-depth at times creative puzzles that really make you feel rewarded for connecting the dots with. For the frankly fantastic sound design you hear throughout the game. And for being FREE?! LIKE WHAT! I honestly don't want to go further than that, cause I want YOU to play this game. It's freaking free man! (review may be edited if I escape The Dark Place.)
I had been waiting for this game ever since it was announced (played on release & took me a while to write a review), and I never doubted for a second that it would be good being a player coming from Lethal Company. Even with those expectations it completely blew me away. The world building is phenomenal and the characters are so well crafted that they manage to be both fascinating and genuinely unsettling. It's the kind of game that keeps you constantly thinking. You're always wondering if you missed something, overlooked an important detail, or if the path you've chosen/created has flaws that will come back to haunt you later. That sense of uncertainty makes every choice/decision feel meaningful and keeps you invested from beginning to end. I highly recommend giving this game a chance. If you've never heard of it before, PLEASEEE don't sleep on it you'd be missing out on what I genuinely think is some peak gameplay and storytelling experience. I hope to see more work like this from Zeekerss again and would glad play any other title they have up their sleeve.
