Despair is what you will feel after playing this game. Lots of glitches, barely any scares, and I had to replay the game two times because the flashlight system broke the first time while I ended up clipping out of bounds the second time. If you want a horror game with an interesting story about a main character investigating what happened to a subway and its passengers, this isn't it.

I would just like to save everyone some time with their life and don't buy this game. I completed this game and felt like my whole life was a failure, wouldnt wish this upon my worst enemy, and I would rather severely injure then to complete this game a second time, 0/10 wouldnt recomend

Played for 20 minutes on Steam Deck as part of a project to skim across my backlog. Had to manually bind keys like Shift and B. This is a very rudimentary Unity prototype with, as far as I played, no interesting ideas. Will not finish.
