Absolute and utter unplayable slop. The map is ripped from Outlast, the textures don't fit very well together, the way to interact with things is really weird an finnicky because the cursor is MINISCULE, the keybinds are not changeable, the whole map including jumpscares reload when you reload from checkpoint, it is almost impossible to figure out how to progress, as key placement is completely arbitrary - shame. edit: I finished it. It was a slog and everything felt arbitrary. Can NOT recommend

This is outlast at a proportional cost to quality ratio and it's honestly impressive as that specific thing.
