Amazing game with a thrilling story! Definitely worth the price. Also for people having issue with the lighting, there is a flashlight that you are supposed to use and light switches in the rooms. Will come back to replay for sure!

I feel like the other comments were a little harsh. The game definitely has bugs, but they are not game breaking. I feel like you should have a way to save just incase bugs crash your game. I restarted my game after the marble game caused my game to crash, so that sucked, but it took less than 5 minutes to get back to where I was. The objectives and puzzles were not that hard to figure out. And I usually struggle with puzzles lol. I liked the game. It was super spooky and had me on EDGE sometimes lol. Thanks for the fun game!

You play as a guy who decides to investigate a strange case involving several tenants who have gone missing from an apartment building. The police were unable to find any clues, but somehow you manage to get your hands on a video tape. The recording reveals that someone had been stalking the tenants before ultimately killing them. As you watch more tapes, it becomes clear that there is something much bigger behind these disappearances. In terms of gameplay, this is a straightforward first person horror game without any complicated mechanics. Your objective is to explore the available areas and complete the tasks displayed in the corner of the screen. The objectives are usually quite general, but since the entire game takes place across only a few small locations, figuring out what to do next is rarely difficult. One issue is the lack of visual indicators for important items and interaction points. Objects only reveal themselves as interactive when you get close and place the cursor directly over them, which then displays a button prompt. Sometimes the interaction zones are surprisingly small. The video recorder and television are good examples, as you have to interact with specif…

This game is Bad, like really Bad. You play as a indian IT support Agent. Not really but it seems like it. Nothing against that culture but its distracting. There is no guidelines or clues as to where to go. this game is super broken. super broken. I didnt know what to do. I was streaming it and my viewers were about to pass out of boredom. Needs more clues as to what to do, where to find items, ITS VERY BROKEN AND NOT READY FOR RELEASE. This game has high potential but as far as right now. ITS A WASTE OF money.

Rough experience. The AI voice-over is so monotone it's distracting but that wasn't my main issue. The lighting is SO bad that within the first 2 stale areas of the game, it became pitch black and I had to hug a wall to even navigate to the next room. Atmosphere was so sterile, plot and setup were bad and that lighting was some of the worst I've seen in a minute. Definitely skip this one.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
