3/10 should be like a 3/5$ game and does a poor job of informing people how DDT is still massively used or what it is DDT Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, commonly known as DDT, is a colorless, tasteless, and almost odorless crystalline chemical compound, an organochloride. HIGHLY TOXIC and you cant taste it...... its so much worse and this game only just touches it in 2020 a story in the Los Angeles Times that scientists had discovered thousands of barrels of acid sludge, a by-product of the manufacturing process for the notorious pesticide DDT, underwater in the California coast leaking into the ocean + story - also story could be better - floating trees - part where you lose most of your vision and need to walk in the woods. for me it was ALL my vision and only wat to see a tiny bit was whipping out clip board and putting it away really fast - short - god awful 1 hit death tiny platforming with janky ass hitboxes that are way bigger than they look - part your gonna die at a bunch of times, lets put the checkpoint at the end of a long ass straight hallway so the player can walk strait down it every time....why? no reason for this but to waste time and inflate gameplay make the g…

I completed the game in little over an hour. I liked the general idea of the story and it had nice moments. The gameplay is very disjointed and shirtlived, most of the action is 2d platforming that is more frustrating than satisfying. The platforming also doesn't really fit in with the rest of the game. The story is okay and there are very subtle creepy vibes. I don't think the game is worth the price.

You had no business making me cry like that. Lol Not a game i recommend playing unless youre like a teacher or scientist. Not very much to do in terms of playing. Mostly must story.

This isn't a game that's "fun" to play, that's not the point. But it has a story, a point to make, something to say about the world. I really liked it and I don't understand it being so badly rated.

This game is horrible. Completely buggy, controls don't even work well. I had to use a mix of my keyboard and controller in order to proceed. Not giving another minute of my time.
