✦ AI summary

Players appreciate this mystery-driven, story-focused walking simulator that rewards multiple playthroughs and replayability, particularly for those who enjoy piecing together clues rather than having answers handed to them. However, the game suffers from significant technical issues including lag and glitches that hurt the experience, while casual players find the lengthy walking segments tedious and the narrative unsatisfying, with the game falling short of similar titles like Firewatch despite its good writing and graphics.

[b]Before you buy![/b] I have completed two playthroughs and am currently on my third. If you're not the type of player who enjoys mystery solving story driven games then this game might not be for you. The beauty and the challenge of this game is that it does not solve the mystery for you but instead leaves you with clues. This is why I find it very enjoyable as you're able to replay the game multiple times with different perspectives in search of the next piece of the puzzle. Additionally I do not believe the pacing of the game is that bad. My playthroughs have been roughly 2.5 hours long and the bugs I have experienced have not been game breaking. So if this description piques your interest I would recommend it. However if you're a casual player looking for a straightforward story and some scares I would still recommend it just do not go in expecting a fully resolved ending.

I enjoyed the game. Most of the problems I ran into were minor, but the discord was very helpful if I was stuck. I really enjoyed the soundtrack and atmosphere. Also, the devs seems to take feedback very well. I recommend the game!

I am an easy-going video-gamer. Like quite literally I detest anything that is too challenging and prefer story-rich games (think "This Bed We Made" or "Firewatch"). I cannot play games like "007 First Light" or "Detroit: Become Human," because action games like those are just too challenging for me. I am always searching for more story-based games, so I thought I'd give this a go. I can say with confidence this is very low-grade, not story-rich at all. It is like a Firewatch fan made, indie based game that is mostly just you walking from place to place, so very boring. Also, when you do interact with other characters, there is not often an option to select certain dialogue so it's always one outcome. Personally, I do not think this game is worth more than $3 and I am disappointed the creators would sell it for more than $5. Though I do not reserve the right to a refund, the right thing to do would be to refund me as I feel the trailer is pure clickbait. I would not purchase this game unless it is offered for under $5 and you have serious time to kill.

I feel like it could be a decent game. I had a hard time even getting through the first section because of how bad the lag was. I had to look at the ground most of the time to get anywhere. I couldnt take the lag anymore and had to quit. The lag was the only bad part about the game, other than that I feel like this game has potential.
