The game offers intriguing puzzles and manages to bundle a pretty balanced amount of horror and adventure. Apart from the voice overs(which really kinda sounded sweet to me), the game keeps things together nicely throughout the entire gameplay. The graphics of the game are pretty interesting as well, the enemies are detailed and crisp when compare to the sweet and artistic low poly environment of the game, it does look great though, it reminds you how an Indie studio picks up things they can work with and come out with something worth your time. Talking about the music, it's FABULOUS, it literally gave me goosebumps. Overall, the game doesn't force itself onto you and doesn't try to over do things, it gives the player plenty of room to immerse itself in the gameplay, the game is pretty nicely done.
Keep up the good work guys.

This game has potential although in it's current state it is simply too buggy, nonsensical and tedious to recommend.
What you have here is a horror game with some very questionable voice acting, puzzles ranging from semi-interesting to flat out tedious (a match 2 mini game, really?) and FPS mechanics that feel incredibly shoe horned in.
The game is also incredibly buggy and I had to restart several times as doors would refuse to open or key items would disappear because the physics would glitch out.
I can tell the devs have tried here so I hope to see some improvements over time, the premise is interesting but the execution needs some serious work.

I am playing this in India, We don't have video games like these made in here specially in Hindi, so would recommend it to people who are looking for the Indian flavour in Video games as its a complete pack of Puzzles and adventure showcasing a story.
I really like the story line where this guy is looking to save his partner in the game and he goes through a lot of things, be it puzzles which are just great and timely and evenly distributed killer creatures, the team has managed to pull of a very nice play in this one. I played it on the day of release i found a few glitches which were fixed with the update they pushed..
The house is very well planned as the maximum time was spent in there and i felt it was great, earlier i struggled to kill the enemy but later i did that. Hope to see more such games coming soon by the studio..i could see the kind of hard work they have done in here.
All the best guys. this was my 1st purchase of Steam and its truly value for money.

This game was a totally ok experience, although I can't really say much more than that. It carries itself well, presenting a nearly deserted town with some strange happenings, one of which very early on is you're hunted by a few rogue humans. Things get weirder the further you go down the rabbit hole, encountering a house with a whole bunch of shifting doors and moving walls. The puzzle aspects in this game I would say are slightly simpler than your average horror game, which is a good or a bad thing depending on your viewpoint of that. But that house itself was a nice touch and well done.
I'm assuming as this is the devs first game on steam, we're dealing with a relatively low budget release, so I won't speak too much to the graphics, but it is kind of desolate at times. Rooms are generally bare save for a few random objects, and the forest-setting aspect is very monotone and it's just not very visually appealing. As for the game, it plays ok, the AI is still a bit funky at times with attacking you, but I'm sure updates will fix that eventually. The difficulty is generally pretty easy at this time, as the only time I died was when I wasn't paying attention and didn't reload my gun.
Overall, it's a good effort, just slightly below in my opinion what I can recommend (especially at $9.99, I would recommend a lower starting point but that's just me). I can say that I'm sure there's a crowd out there that will enjoy this, and the effort for this game is not over; if the work continues and there are further updates, I will come back check back in and change my review as needed.
