This feels and plays like a student project. It's not terrible, but there's very little meat on the bone of this walking sim. If it gets expanded on, could be something really neat.1 found this helpful
a very simple and short game.
Its ok for a free game and 5 minute gameplay.
Honestly, this game was pretty meh. The story was fine, the concept was there, but let's just say I understand why "Walking Simulator" is in the tags of this game. It's just walking through rooms, reading optional terminals, grab keys to unlock doors, escape. The "boss battle" if you can really call it that, was just finding a key in a room quick enough and using it on the right terminal in time, or else you die. Honestly, there isn't much to take from this game, it was clearly made as just a quick little project to get an idea out, and not much else. It's probably going to be a 5-6/10, and only because the game is free. if you want a quick game to 100%, then get this game, because I did it in about 8 minutes.
This game clearly wants to make a philosophical statement but lacks the depth to do so without sounding trite. It's short and there's trophies if you're so inclined but beyond that I didn't find much here to recommend because there's quite literally very little here in terms of gameplay and story.
Short and sweet little horror game, but it's not scary. 100% in 10 minutes. 7.5/10
