Missing Persons

It's a short fun game that feels like a low-budget RE game but requires some bug fixes. I hope developers don't abandon this game, since it still got some room for improvement.

When I saw this game was coming out I was really looking forward to it.. Really disappointed, Typos in dialogue, no controller support, NPC interaction is text based, Graphics are not the best. To sum it up it's the worst 15.00 game I've purchased on Steam.

While the premise of this game can be considered alright as it has a decent horror atmosphere, it falls apart due its poorly implemented mechanics which only leads to frustration. I spent 1 hour trying to find the electric box to turn on lights as it was hidden in complete pitch blackness like the rest of the game is. This game is EXTREMELY dark that you can't see in front of your nose most of the time. I managed to find a candle and lit it but it immediately disappeared as I switched to something else leaving me in complete darkness, tried to reload checkpoint but guess what, it didn't save at all. The game tells you that you can save it from the menu but there's NO option to do so. After starting again, I found the flashlight in a locked box. This imo, is a bad idea and only leads to more frustration because I thought I would return back to station to open the box later as I find code for it. GIVE the flashlight to the player as this game highly depends on it. I'm even ignoring typos or missing text, static npcs, no bullet impact aside from a bullet mark. It needed more time in the oven, for sure.

Game is annoyingly lacking in direction and progress saving functionality. I've spent hours playing and couldn't save the game manually. I have to start over from that last auto save point every time i close the game out. The puzzle dont have hints or even markers for puzzle pieces. You just have to figure it out by wandering and stumbling upon those things. It's extremely annoying. If i could save anywhere i wanted then i may have a better review and i wouldnt mind wandering around aimlessly but i can't and that irritates me a lot. The game is decent and i enjoy playing it. But I dont like restarting every single time i start the game for my next session. The objectivews are generic and for the areas as a whole and not the next steps you should be taking. EX: The undergound. The objective is "Find a way out". There are hella puzzles to solve and items to collect and you dont know that unless you guess yourself which leads to even more wasted time running around collecting items.

I encountered some optimization issues but other than that gameplay mechanics are good.

Tried playing this "game". Got to a point where I got an ax and gun. Used ax on zombies and couldn't hit them. Hit boxes for the zombies were non-existent. Also saved before fighting zombies and after I died, reloaded my save and I appeared in the sky swinging my ax. No idea what happened, but I only paid 50 cents for the game and that was enough for me.
