I'd only ever buy this game on a sale in which it was less than 10 bucks at this point. I see people praise both the story and the amount of polish, but I found both utterly lacking. Polish wise there was Many times I found a bug just by existing, and not like QA tester bugs but "The devs knew this was wrong but never fixed it" type bugs. Story wise it's just, lacking, the entire plot is done to death at this point and done better by most other writers. I enjoyed the puzzles, though frequently I found the controls for engaging with said puzzles to be tedious and awkward. Dials that don't have set postions so the number displays they affect sit awkwardly misaligned. Large wheels that you have to regrab ever 3 seconds to continue rotating. Just a bunch of ♥♥♥♥ that I can't help but ask what people see in the game while I'm doing it. Performance wise it was fine, the controls haven't been meaningfully updated for quest controllers it feels as you cannot pull up the menu in game without also pulling up the steam overlay. Fixable with control modifications though so that's "okay." I hesitate to recommend it at the retail price they offer it mostly, if you can get it Really Cheap …

the game stutters like crazy. It run between 20-60 fps in a given second. I had strong vr legs so I kinda just took it, but then the game crashed when I tried lowering the crane in the first room you enter.
