Dissection Reviews

It's incredibly broken but I like the simplistic puzzle element and the game as a whole was enjoyable to figure out. You are basically trying to escape a house by solving rudimentary puzzles that involve picking up an item like a key and using it somewhere else. All the while, there is a man who is burned or has no skin who is just wandering around. If he finds you, the game ends immediately. At first the game seems impossible since he will always see you no matter what you do, but I learned a few things after a couple hours that made sense of it. For example, if he's heading upstairs he will stay there a while, so really if you are patient you can wait until he changes floors and get everything done on the floor you're on in the meantime. You can hide in wardrobes, but if he sees you hiding in the wardrobe it won't help. There's no animation if he catches you, but it can still feel pretty scary since you have to start over. You can also hear and see doors swinging open, so if you're patient you can see what room he entered. It's still incredibly broken but not as much of a hassle once you figure it out. Given this is a game made from recycled assets likely made by one guy I would say it's highly decent. I enjoyed figuring out how the pieces fit together and completing it, even if it's still incredibly unforgiving and rough around the edges.
