Vastophobia

I've bought almost 900 games of Steam (probably not close to the number of many) and this is the first time I've written a review of a game. Very slack of me and I apologise to those developers who rely upon reviews to potenial buyers. Why did this game spur me on to break my silence? The game is just that DAMN GOOD! I realise as of playing this, I'm only 44 minutes in and that the developer is still working on the game, but there are so many things that blew me away about this game. Firstly, the sense of scale is incredible already and that's before I even finish Chapter One of the game. Secondly, the gameplay is well thought out. It's not a shooter (well not yet anyway - it could become one in later chapters - who knows? The environments are gorgeous. This is a strong candidate for VR. I'd love to play it on VR and I'm hoping that a VR version of it does get developed. The game ran so so smoothly on my set up. The one criticism I'd make is that there is no saving in the middle of a chapter, so don't expect (like I did) to end the session in the middle of the chapter and then resume where you left off. Minor thing, but hey... In summary, the game itself is …

Eerie, beautiful and spooky walking sim. Really liked Chapters One and Two. Looking forward to more.

It has some cool H.E. Geiger-esque visual but I got stuck in the skeleton cave trying to get through a passageway I opened, but the bottom lip of the doorway was too high and I couldn't get over it. I searched and searched but couldn't find something to use as a ramp or stairs or something so I had to quit after playing half an hour. I suspect there's more to see, but I don't know how to get to it. I assume this is a bug, but it was game breaking for me.

only been through chapter 1 and it seem like there will be 5 chapters unlike alot of the olher liminal games this is a little bit more linear so theres less getting lost which for these style of games is really nice you get to appreciate the worldbuilding in a more condensed way

Loving the atmosphere. This game looks and sounds great. I can't wait to play the rest as each chapter is released. If you're in to eerie, liminal spaces, I'd definitely recommend checking this one out. Developer is active and responsive to the community - support this project!

This was a really well thought out game. Great job! Thanks so much for jumping into my stream and showing some love! I look forward to more chapters!
