Inheritance

This is the first time I’ve ever left a negative review on Steam, but this game pushed me to it. The experience started fine, but everything fell apart once you follow Roni’s track into the empty city. The world feels lifeless and instead of building tension or atmosphere, it just becomes boring. The real problem begins when you drop into the underground tunnel section. It’s a maze of identical corridors, random pin‑locked doors, and zero clues to guide you. There’s no logic, no hints, no environmental storytelling—just doors with passwords that feel completely arbitrary. I eventually had to look up the solution on YouTube because nothing in the game pointed me in the right direction. What makes it worse is that the developer can design good puzzles. The Erased Student had real clues, real logic, and a sense of progression. This game replaces all of that with a confusing labyrinth that feels like padding rather than gameplay. Overall, it was a disappointing and tedious experience. If you enjoy puzzle games with actual clues and fair design, this one will probably let you down.

If all games were this bad, I wouldn't game. I would read books or watch movies or something. To begin with, this game is terribly optimized. Like not even optimized at all. Even with the resolution percentage at less than 60% and all other graphic options disabled or turned way way down, I was getting constant harsh frame rate drops in 4k with an RTX4080. You also cannot jump, even though there is a keyboard command to jump. This means you can easily get stuck in the environment. There are also invisible walls keeping you contained in a certain area, there is no manual save, there is no voice acting, and there is a heavy grain effect that cannot be disabled. The game is also not scary at all in my opinion, exploration is uninteresting, and the environment is lifeless and dull. I quickly got bored and lost interest in playing this game, so I can most certainly not recommend it.

What an insane game! In a good way, for the most part. Some of the puzzles towards the end were a bit weird to navigate around to try and solve. Pretty good jumpscares though. I only needed to change my jorts three times. I hope to see more from these devs in the near future

Inheritance is a psychological horror adventure that draws players into a bleak and unsettling mystery set within an alternate version of the Soviet Union. Developed and published by VimmGames, the game follows journalist Alex as he ventures into the abandoned city of Kamgrad, hoping to uncover the fate of a missing colleague and expose the truth behind a devastating catastrophe that occurred decades earlier. The premise immediately establishes an atmosphere of secrecy, fear, and uncertainty, creating a foundation that supports the game's strongest feature: its immersive sense of place. The city itself serves as the centerpiece of the experience. Kamgrad is presented as a frozen monument to tragedy, filled with deserted streets, neglected buildings, and remnants of lives abruptly interrupted. Every location contributes to the overall feeling of isolation, and the environmental design does an excellent job of communicating the scale of the disaster without relying heavily on lengthy exposition. Exploring the city becomes a rewarding process because each area contains clues that gradually reveal fragments of a larger and more disturbing story. Rather than focusing on combat or acti…

Pretty good game. The atmosphere was very creepy, and the story was sad. No real puzzles, just pathfinding and getting codes to doors.
