This ain't it, bruh. If this game was cut down to an hour long? Okay, that would be acceptable. But it's like 4 hours long, and it's just terribly-written dialogue that goes on and on and on forever, with a small amount of items to find, no puzzles, no exploration, and the most generic plot. Character animations are virtually non-existent, corners were obviously cut everywhere, and it's overall just very shabby. Oh and also I broke the ending by stabbing the killer in the middle of a cutscene. And then then dialogue kept playing over the credits and onto the title screen. An absolute mess of a game where no enjoyment is to be found. And normally I get a good laugh out of this kind of crap, so that should tell you something!

This was a very subpar game even for indie standards. Controls were super janky, the story had several plot holes and was just way too linear. The child. The dialogue was pretty bad. The ending kinda just... ended. Also, all the spoilers can be found directly in the achievements. They aren't hidden or anything. It just dragged on for what this game ended up being. Shame because the premise had potential and I'm a fan of indie games.

This game is fun and all but there are so many bug that I haven't been able to complete the game any other way than dying and I am pretty frustrated by it. I emailed the devs and just NEVER heard back. I disappointed that it has so many bugs and the dev won't respond and because its newer there isn't much help in the discussions. Take this info as you wish.

Fun game - dialogue was excellent imo. Look up my gameplay on YouTube if you're on the fence about buying - SignalVoid. Would recommend to anyone who asked.
