***Update: The dev responded and plans to update and optimize the game in the future. Which could, if true, not only help the game itself, but also expanding the underrepresented niche of minimal & experimental games. Imho one of the hardest categories to achieve greatness, as due to its minimalistic, non-conformistic nature every aspect and part counts, has to have purpose. And this one looks promising.*** Great concept, but imho too random enemy encounters. Being chased by often just a few red dots (where the lidar hit enemies) in a world only created by temporary lidar dots is, well, too random. Accompanied by a low running battery, i.e. time pressure, even harder and ruling out the stealth/slower approach. I love the concept and the minimalist aesthetics, it is just too random, too hard and missing visual clues make it difficult to be understood and fun. Try it for the price, it is just too frustrating for what's there.

Honestly I enjoy it. It feels really difficult, but something that with time you can start to understand. After a few runs I started understanding how to navigate with so little information, which I think makes the game feel unique to others. I do think the stealth tag should be here, as you cannot fight back against enemy AI, so you have to stealth around and immediately run the moment one finds you. This being said though, at times it feels a bit unfair, as you can be walking in a room you thought was safe when suddenly you are caught. Besides this though I do find the game hard but pretty fun.
