READ FIRST BEFORE BUYING I will warn the buyer that this is NOT a supersoldier style FPS game. Period . . . this is a very niche First Person Grim Adventure game. You are not a bioenhanced human, you're some poor sod who got stuck in a world that's as confusing as it is morbidly beautiful. YOu go into this game and get sucked into it's macabre atmosphere, you don't know who you are, where you are, or why you're there . . . you just have prompts and puzzles guiding you in a direction to which the outcome is both horrific and induces a primal level of despair. Pros: The game is simple, walk/run, aim/shoot, interact/move. There's no jumping and doing somersaults because you're not a soldier . . . in truth, you don't know what you are. And while there are weapons, they're not the focus but a tool to help you move around. Art, sound, atmosphere, movements, interactions are all very fluid, and with the exception of the end, few to no cutscenes. Visuals, Sounds, Interactions, I rate a solid 8-9/10. Cons: THIS GAME IS NICHE . . . it has more in common with a interactive art work than an actual "game" like Gears of War or HALF-LIFE. My only real gripe about the game is the length . . . you can finish it in 6 hours or so, assuming you're just interested in going start to finish without admiring the art and the message it conveys. Play Time, Replayability are sadly a 6/10, but that's why should buy the deluxe edition with it's artbook so it doesn't feel like a total loss. Overall I rate this game 4/5 because it's a breath of fresh air compared to most fast paced games these days . . . sometimes, you just want a slow walk through an atmospheric hellscape.

The idea is perfect. I love the style and the gore aesthetic.

I have received this copy via Amazon Gaming, and I am so happy cause it was still release day that I wanted to play it: great ambience, amazing how it feels alive and there are clearly many influences from Bekszinsky and HR Giger. The combat system might have been done better, at least more responsive. But while I write this review, I am at 33% of the game so I will see.

It's hard to tell wth is happening throughout the gameplay but it's catchy and you can't stop playing it

too much stuff thrown at you without context but nice world building but the game feels pointless at the end
