It's janky and unpolished, which doesn't help. There's bugs that can kill your progress. I think, worst of all, the puzzle and level design is really poor, it's just not to the same standard as more professionally developed first person puzzlers. The graphics aren't great, minimalist low poly stuff with placeholder textures... it's a failure. That's understandably a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must …
