Man I was really rooting for this one. It's goofy and not scary (part of that on purpose i think) but was still funny but there's three issues, one is not a big deal in the grand scheme, one kinda is and makes it tedious, and the last is just flatout critical to get right and it doesnt. 1 - its really heavily scripted ona rbtrary triggers at times. youll be looking everywhere for an item when you realize that the item only spawns in map where it wasnt before if you say for example try a door you have tried over and over before and know its locked. but hey this ONE time, it says its locked AND gives you one more line of text showing the thing will appearn now, eesh 2 - the enemy makes zero noise so i didnt even realize it was chasing and caught me when it did, so i go to retry and... i start all the way at the beginning? dude... come on 3 - i started over and am trying to go fast to get where i was, at one point you activate a printer and a creepy note flies out that YOU NEED TO READ in order for the entire game to progress. it fell through the floor. i was soft locked. i didnt feel like starting over again (for the unskippable intro as well btw) so i stopped. even at free, its …
This game is unplayable, every time there's something said it makes me wait minutes before I can contine
Fun quick game, made me jump a few times but it's not all that difficult and a fun time killer for about half an hour or so.
I like the game except for the fact that I don't know where the key is for the storage. Would love a hint for that. Also I don't understand the monster and why it's in my office? Anyway. It was ok. 4/10 on the pear scale.
Waste of time literally If you die you restart from the beginning with the slow as cutscenes No clue for objectives Buggy and game feels like made by AI
