Did you ever wonder why colonizing Mars is estimated to be so incredible expensive? This game finally provides an adequate answer: There is simply too much space in a Mars station! The protagonist directly experiences pure human extravangance by walking through a tremendous amount of rooms that are filled with... nothing! Wait, did we see a desk with a computer? Nice, computers are surely benefitial in a station on Mars! So what does this other room feature? A... plastic sculpture? Nevermind, it becomes quite apparent that the protagonist is actually a drunken sailor with lung cancer. He basically can't walk straight, can only run a few seconds before experiencing serious health problems and sounds like a chainsmoking Darth Vader. While the physical condition of the protagonist might sound problematic for surving murdering creatures on a Mars station it actually isn't a real problem since you can just walk away from them. You might ask youself why the other (now dead) people in the station just didn't do that? Maybe they somehow underestimated the creatures since they do look oddly weak on first sight. It might be quite possible that the crew members just thought something like:…13 found this helpful
Right off the bat, i could tell this game wasn't going to be a good experience when i paused it to tried to Fix the Resolution, motion blur, and the sound. None of which i could fix by the way. Realizing this and trying to exit back into the game just caused more problems as now the pause menu was just stuck over the actual game. Actually playing the game felt more funny than scary. At first, i didn't even recognize the monster as it was just a red blur popping in and out of existence, and even the monster where the first keycard was just a funny walking animation. I was more scared of the MC's voice and a distant monster that was sitting meditatively which turned out to just be a plant. This game should be more like Five Nights at Freddy's.2 found this helpful
