Nice first chapter. The story seems good. Atmosphere and environments hook you in. Graphically it's really nice. Maybe 80-90 mins long? I have more time because (I was stuck) and the game for some reason wasn't saving. Had to restart. Game save is working. (For now) Yet this is hard call. The price is good for what you'll get, in the long run., but it's also a tease. Because you can't progress further in the story till the next update. (Based on the roadmap) Give it a shot. Has some great potential.7 found this helpful
Fighting against frame dips and puzzles. An apartment exploration horror game with simple puzzles. The game did have a lot of frame drops in the short time I played it. Not sure if the game was just loading in or if it would have been a constant thing. I recommend this if you want to relive the thrill of living in an apartment building.1 found this helpful
stop with the puzzle games as a story mode gamer im fed up with puzzles in games just base the game on a story not puzzles AVOID1 found this helpful
I really liked the visuals and sound, they're exceptionally well-made. It would have been even better if the story and plot were longer. I hope there will be updates or improvements that will give us a much longer gameplay experience. I congratulate the developers for making quality their top priority 👏
