Recommended Mar 2, 2024
Decent survival horror, but very much in the style of old-school, EARLY Resident Evil. The description gives the impression that it's an equal mix of old-school and modern but it's more like 90% old-school 10% modern, with no objective markers or hand-holding anywhere to be seen. It does have a modern camera and over-shoulder aiming, but people expecting RE 4 or Dead Space will be disappointed as this game is more about exploration and puzzles than combat - which is a good job as the combat is kinda janky. Also the "water filters" puzzle is way too hard and brought back painful memories of (original) RE 3 hospital levers puzzle. It's also very short, like literally could be done in 2 hours if you know what you're doing. But yeah I kinda like it. Recommended for fans of old-school survival horror only though, similar to Signalis. Edit: Played on Easy mode only. Hard mode sounds like a pain in the ass tbh.

couldn't progress in the ship past the point where the red keycard is needed. also the only enemy seemed to just be immortal, which why even have a gun then? regardless I played for an hour and nearly nothing happened until the end and it wasn't good when I got there.
