Life is too short for this

What a crying shame, it looks great and has an interesting enough premise... It works with disorienting camera views much like early resident evil games, except even worse and more unfairly. Aiming is clunky as is, then you take a step back and suddenly the monsters aren't in the picture cause you entered a different view. On top of that they need several good hits, All fine and dandy, if saving was available in reasonable intervals, But first having to replay the whole prologue because something that kills you was designed to look like the graphic card acting up, upon which I looked for my phone to document it instead of getting our of there.... and then replaying half an hour because safepoints were so far apart and I died a completely unfair death... well, that's when I gave up on it. With regrett, cause it looks cool and the puzzles were pleasant so far.

Scratches the survival horror itch well.

Classic Resident Evil gameplay with Silent Hill puzzles. If you like those games, this is worth your time. The game ran well for me, played it on maxed settings and had no frame drops or tearing or anything of the sort. Had two minor glitches, one bouncing on terrain and the other having some kind of inventory effect applied outside of the inventory. Neither required a reload to fix. The puzzles go deeper than some of the Silent Hill puzzles. All puzzles were satisfying. I got totally stumped by a couple puzzles. One, a logic riddle. And two, an interactable in the environment that I had forgotten about and struggled to find when it was the solution at hand. It never got repetitive gameplay wise and difficulty felt right to me. They gated progression in clever ways that did not feel forced. The dialogue is a little bit stilted, but that works for me. It's mostly a delivery thing in the voice acting. It didn't keep me out of the story, which I felt was mostly well written. Has some of that RE medical horror but doesn't do that annoying thing RE does where it pivots into paramilitary spy intrigue. Had the SH psychological horror themes. Thoroughly enjoyed the story which is delivered mostly through diary entries found in the world. They do get very male gaze with the camera work in the first two minutes. I found it off-putting insofar as they are setting up a vulnerable main character while horned up. I get gratuitous nudity is a horror trope but it hurts the focus of the intro. And I am happy to report that IS NOT INDICATIVE of the tone of the rest of the game- they never get bogged down into that stuff again. Also, they provide an alternate costume if the big anime bows seem like too much to you as they did to me. Jeans, riding boots and a cropped leather jacket. Overall very happy I played this! It earned all 5 of the stars I gave it. I will be watching this company as I am excited to see what they do next.

Excellent survival horror, some gripes.

Excellent survival horror that replicates the classic titles very well while leaving me with some small gripes. Pros: - excellent puzzle design. They're varied, challenging and (mostly) fair - completely nails the old Resident Evil/Silent Hill atmosphere. You could get confused and think you're playing a game from that era - good tension - good combat. You get to shoot DIY weapons including a pipe shotgun - fine story. It has some convoluted parts, but still is above average for the genre Cons: - some pacing issues. Last area could be cut completely; there was also a moment in the middle of too much backtracking back and forth between puzzles - the map is bad. It doesn't have any quality of life features, doesn't even open on the correct page. If you want to keep list of puzzles you have encountered, you have to do it yourself. And then, there are areas that have no map... - the pickupable items blend with the clutter. I've seen worse, but still, be thorough in searching the rooms - combat in a game with fixed camera angles. But that's what you came here for, right? (copied from my Steam review since I bought the game a second time here)

A nod to old survival horror games

I haven't finished it yet, but I have to admit that the game has a really cool old-school style of gameplay, with fixed camera on top of that. Survival isn't easy because there's very little ammo, and you can only save the progress if you have a tape and get to the right place - which may not appeal to many people or may be irritating when you have to repeat a long fragment after death, but I guess it's part of this genre - survival, and I personally am very happy that this element hasn't been simplified. The puzzles in the first half of the game seem okay, nothing too difficult, but I still have a huge part of the game ahead of me, so something may change in this regard, but I haven't seen many people particularly criticize this aspect, so I believe it will be solid until the end. Another quite good thing (but not entirely) is the graphics, this is really detailed, looks very good and is dark, which gives a great atmosphere, but... unfortunately, the optimization is average. Here I will speak from the perspective of the steam deck user, because that's what I ran the game on - well, some locations are very smooth, but larger or specific areas can be quite laggy and from constant 30fps the game can drop to even 15fps (at 7W) but honestly in this game it is playable on the steam deck, still there is still some unevenness here. Nevertheless it is worth noting that the controls or compatibility with the steam deck are great, so if someone does not fix power limit on the steam deck, they will probably have a very smooth experience, not to mention stationary computers. Generally, I recommend this title, definitely a very good game for fans of the genre.

Spectacular Classic Survival Horror

Buy it. Gameplay wise, this game is incredible. I nails the ideal survival horror combat of being hazardous and clumsy without being frusterating and still allowing for oppurtunities to dodge or run if you need. The enemies, while a present threat were never too many, making each encounter meaningful. The puzzles were excellent too and a good variety. I only had to use a guide twice, once when I was shamefully age checked, (you'll know which one) and another where, along with the previous puzzle, the game didn't seem very recptive to me and I needed to do the solution a couple times. It's not triple A so I can excuse what amounted to minimal jank in an otherwise smooth and functional game. It looks great, along with honest to god animation. It feels like a while since I've seen something graphically modern with a proper character art style that isn't horribly performance captured. The main setting is gorgeous while seeming cluttered in a way that suits it, that or they threw too many assets in, I don't know how this games production was. Regardless, the game can be scary and beautiful if not both and when it really counts the design nails the aestetics of the big two while maintaining it's own look. Sound wise the music is incredible. If music from the classics is what your ears hunger for, then they will eat well here. However the voice acting for the main woman, while she isn't bad at all and sounds suitably Canadian, there seems to be a lack of direction for her. It isn't stilted or cheesy, It just sounds like there could be improvement. However we can chalk that up to classic style voice acting perhaps. The only other critisisms are a stalker enemy that didn't seem properly presented as one, causing me to waste way too much ammo before realizing, and in early game the save situation seems very trecherous which might lead to frustration if you aren't careful. TL;DR If you are looking for Survival horror this is a full course meal that you'll remember
