Yep this game sure does exist by the publishers of Rain World. This game is forgettable besides from the atmosphere that it creates. The puzzles can be janky and nothing really happens after the opening for a while. Don't recommend it unless on sale

Really liked it. I thought the game mechanics were novel. The atmosphere is really cool with plenty to look at. The lore builds nicely throughout the gameplay (crying child gave me goose pimples). It even worked with my first gen Vive wands…so a plus to the devs for mapping it. I didn’t care for the livestream chat because they didn’t really have anything relevant to say, but after a half-hour of play I accidentally figured out you can turn it off with a button press. Graphics were good and ran smooth as butter!

Enjoyed playing for the first couple of hours, then found the save point hadn't worked properly and I couldn't continue because I was stuck in a room where nothing worked anymore. Thought that was pretty poor, seems a like a basic element of the game which should work. Best not to waste your money on this unless you have the time to complete the entire game in one sitting.

Calibration is so poorly implemented that I can't get my head out of the floor. The flashlight is also infuriatingly useless and it's a stumble in the dark simulator. Had to refund this one, sorry. Too many glaring bugs hit me in less than 30 minutes.

The first half hour was decent, but it's just not fun after a while.
