What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's atmospheric design, visuals, and sound quality, particularly noting it's impressive for a free solo indie project. However, they consistently report game-breaking bugs including frequent crashes, map clipping, and softlock situations that are especially frustrating due to the complete lack of checkpoints or save systems, forcing players to restart from the beginning whenever technical issues occur.

This is surprisingly very enjoyable ride. I liked the levels I liked the graphics The jump scares are - well they are there. For a free game I have nothing to say against it. So no critique but things I personally would change: The level with moving platforms: The player inherits the speed of the platform he is standing on, so moving against it proves quite difficult, which shouldn't be a problem. Relative to this aiming the jump on lover platform proves more difficult than it should be. Shining Bright white objects: The white objects in the game, even if supposedly placed intentionally, stick out like a sore thumb in some levels. Or, where they are meant to blend in, they just look like unfinished textures. For what it is i would give it 7/10 - some areas looked better than what Bloober team tried in their progressive games.

When I first started playing this I experienced some bugs. It wasn't until the third reboot that I was able to go through without falling through the map. I don't like that there is no voice for the characters and I'm having to read while traverse through the map. The graphic are pretty good! I think I understand the story but at the same time a little lost. Would like to know more about the characters and why they're there. Level 5 was my favorite level. I think it was beautifully done, and the jump scares actually got me a few times. 8/10 on the pear scale.

walking simulator with constant reused assets, terrible sound design, and cheap bad jumpscares. beat every puzzle without even learning what the puzzles were. thats how easy they were. had no fun ngl

This game is nothing short of a cinematic masterpiece. The puzzles were sometimes a bit confusing but I eventually figured them out. The audio and visuals really drew me into the game. The whole experience was very eerie and unsettling. I really liked this game a lot but some parts could be improved. I would give it an 8.5/10
