Great title with some rough spots
Entering the game with the expectations of a Portal-like experience, I wasn't disappointed. The mechanics of magnetism are interesting (Although I'll stop here and point out that opposite magnet charges attract while same magnet charges repel. In the game it's the reverse which doesn't make sense), and the setting even more so, starting from Portal-like testing chambers to a horrific and eldritch nightmare, and making use of magnetism to survival. You'll find puzzles that'll test your ability to think around the environment. That said, the graphics are getting in the way most of the time, but I think that's intentional. It takes some time to wrap your head around the landscape and making use of that landscape to figure out how to get to the next room, because of the graphics. Loading screens are quite often so be prepared to spend a little time being interrupted by loading. Hopefully they are accompanied with hints and reminders about the game and its mechanics. Really do note that some things seem rough. For example, if you're coming for an epic final boss, sorry. The enemies end-game, while worthy of jumpscares, don't move naturally which makes for some sort of disconnect. Also the game would do better with the main character's animations. However the game does make a point, that you are powerless against these abominations. As for the other non-gameplay things, the graphics are good if you're a graphics guy, the music is sort of good, but the story is where things get weird, however it doesn't shy from Lovecraftian works. It embraces them. Also the story does get its horrific moments, but might lack in tastes sort of. Also, your main character's mentor, Gamaji, is one cool character. And that's it for the day. Four stars for excellent gameplay and the setting, one star off for rough things.
