As far as point and click go, very good!

Beautiful aesthetics and a tense, dark atmosphere was what made me want to play this game. As someone who's not a fan of point and click puzzle solving games, I'm happy to report that generally the puzzles are sensible and only very seldom would they be obtuse but when it did happen it was completely taking me out of the immersion - nothing kills immersion and tension faster than frustration of not being able to solve a silly puzzle. Luckily, those moments are few and far between. I love the fact that the devs respect your time and the character can move at a reasonable pace so the backtracking and puzzle solving isn't terribly burdensome. There is a fair bit of reading involved, it seems like everyone in the game had their own personal diary and at times the entries contain plain silly incriminating details that no one in their right mind would record, or details that are simply too transparently there just for the reader's benefit. It lays out the story which is quite interesting but it is also a bit long winded at times. The game is quite gory and disturbing (but not many jump scares, and they are fairly tame) so if you are a fan of the setting and point and click puzzles, you'll be as happy as a pig in mud. As for me, four stars.

Welcome addition to the PaC genre

Point and click adventure with horror themaetic, the game works just asit should, I didn't find any "moon logic" puzzles, but pixel hunting is still required some times, graphics are good, great ambience, sound is good, but not great, sound loops are noticeable if you pay attention and the voice acting is sometimes good, sometimes meh. Storywise John is kind of slow on taking in the gravity of his situation and keeps looking for his family even tho every PDA you find states how everyone dies (hardly a spoiler), but I'll cut him some slack since being in stasis for months or years would probably have such side effects. There are also story points that make no sense, but talking about them would be major spoilers. Also, what's up with the art? At some point I saw a row of typebars in a console, like if it was a typewriter, without keyboard or anything. There are little details like that all over the place, which only makes me question the sanity of the protagonist, even tho nowhere in the game is hinted at this being some sort of comatose dream (unlike Sanitarium). Something very annoying is that there are no settings in game, but they come in a separate executable, and sometimes the volume levels reset to max for no reason. To avoid this, use Winndows' volume mixer to lower the game's volume, funny how windows remembers what volume levels you want for this executable, but the game itself fails at it. Enjoyable game, great atmosphere, but somewhat weak story. Still worth a playthrough, we don't get many horror PaC adevntures so the addition is welcome.

Nothing new under the sun

Atmosphere, graphics and sound effects are top notch. But gameplay is absolutely linear and interaction is limited to "use this object on that object to advance". OK, that's the standard adventure paradigma, but on modern games I would expect some innovation. Nice experience, but not a game to remember.

Wow

Sound / Design / Story are all lovely combined to put you in a stunning story of Sci-Fi / Horror which let you discover a big spaceship with a full variety of rooms, resolve puzzles and enigmas, and appreciate the development of the story. A really MUST HAVE for anyone that juste love good games.

Walking, loading, pixel hunting

Walking around empty rooms trying to solve puzzles is not fun or scary. Most of the puzzles are a pixel hunt for items you have no idea you would need. Most of your time is spent walking back and forth slowly between rooms and loading screens. hoping that you will find that one item on the floor you can barely see that will some how be useful. Spent 12 hours playing it trying WANTING to like it but gave up. I feel bad seeing this game on the Insomnia sale. "25 people have to buy this game to get to the next one, i feel bad for those 25 people"
