Big fan of the game, I like the idea of the puzzles, gives me amnesia vibes, but would love to see a story added like amnesia, maybe just some notes thrown around a little bit more engagement on that side. I like the puzzles, they are clever but understandable given some time and though I would love to see a bit more of the game built out, but it was a fun experience!

Overall a great game, especially if you like puzzles games with some horror. The perfect game to play through a weekend. A couple hours of entertaining game play, which is refreshing especially with all of the endless content out these days. Has a amnesia feel to it which is also really nice. STAY OUT OF THE DARK! Highly recommend!

Definitely should check this out if you enjoy puzzle games with horror elements similar to amnesia. It's a decent length game that can be finished in 1 to 2 sittings which is a nice breath of fresh air in an era of endless "content." Worth streaming to your friends for a chill weekend session.

This game definitely leans more towards being a puzzle game than a horror game, but it is refreshing to see as someone who plays a lot of horror. However, that doesn't mean it isn't scary. What it lacks in horror, it compensates with an eerie and unsettling ambiance that makes you fearful for whats around the next corner. The core game play loop revolves around avoiding staying in the dark for too long while placing red orbs in their correct places and pulling all the levers. While this sounds relatively simple, the levels are very well designed and get progressively harder. Some levels can be frustrating at the beginning but feels very rewarding when you figure it out. Overall a pretty enjoyable game that isn't just your typical walking simulator horror games.

This game was an enjoyable experience from start to finish. The puzzles are smartly designed, challenging, and the subtle horror elements create a tense, stressful atmosphere that keeps you on your toes. Although the overall playtime is around 2–3 hours, the experience feels unique and consistently entertaining. I genuinely hope the developer continues to build on this foundation with additional levels or new content. There’s a lot of potential here, and I’m excited to see what Shire Brew has in store for the future.
