They Left Us Here

[b] They Left Us Here [/b] is an atmospheric but linear sci-fi exploration walking simulator and puzzle game with a few action sequences thrown in. It's quite middle of the road in terms of rating because although the story is quite intriguing, ultimately it fell flat for me, and I think I would need to play it again to fully understand it. The game mechanics are nothing new either, with notes, posters, and computer logs providing the story, and puzzles involving finding objects and key combinations to open doors and safes. There's also a couple of sequences where you have to run and avoid NPCs which injected some jeopardy and excitement, and exploration is quite atmospheric with dark rooms creating tension and trepidation and overall the game succeeds in providing a nice sci-fi feel. It's a shame the game wasn't a bit longer, coming in at under two hours, but I am fine with that. I do think that time could have been extended by making exploration a bit more involved, like being able to open drawers, lockers, and searching in cupboards and bins etc. Just simple operations like picking up objects and turning them around to reveal clues or taking objects apart would have been nice.…

Runs bad, no matter the preset, no matter the resolution. I'd say low 50s. That is until you get the flashlight, then solid 30 or less. Uninspired optimisation, reminds me of those quick turnaround UE projects that are games for the sake of being games, like a fast food burger that's cold. Controls are uncomfortable too. Press down and hold down L3 for sprint the whole time? No one does that. Didn't get far into the game. Scariest part were the crashes to desktop. Sound was good though, I liked that.

A semi-solid indie game that took around an hour 30m or less however that I got on sale. Sound design was great, level were a bit sparse and reused, scares were pretty decent and got me a few times. Keep it up but make it much longer next time.

at first is seemed kind of like amnesia though actually ended up being quite pondersome not the longest but the bits of story is neatly packed

This was really really really good! I absolutely loved it! The game takes about an hour to complete but honestly that's perfect. The story is interesting from the little notes he finds scattered around the ship. It was really scary and intense at parts. I cannot recommend this game enough! It's a must play!

Not having a toggle sprint option in a game with a comical amount of back tracking is enough to make me not want to play.
