Missing Texture

i genuinely think this was AI generated, half of the puzzles literally dont make sense, the art is dookie, and nothing loads properly, some things only exist after you leave and reenter the room

i dont even know where to start. it would take a dissertation to express everything i think and feel when i play this and spiral downwards on the state of game development, game design, and even digital art as a whole today. whether or not this is created by human hands is irrelevant as a human is the one who submitted it. the game is so misguided, so fractured, so disjointed and the dev so lacking in any self-awareness or understanding of what a game is or why we play them, that I think even though free you should really do something else, anything else, with your time and attention.

hot garbage

Instead of adding to the horror atmosphere, they feel out of place and don’t match the environment, which takes away from their impact. The level design is another weak point. Much of the game takes place in long, pl…
