Avoid. Spent 40 minutes walking round an apartment and couldn't find way to progress, think the game has bugged out completely. Restarting didn't fix, and when I watch walkthrough online I'm not able to open a door I should be able to open up with the key I picked up, at least according to the video.
Refunding.

Bought this after I beat Lightout 2. This one isn't good. Not much to say other than I didn't enjoy it.

Does not have settings for graphics. I am forced to run the game in my current resolution. 3440x1440. Made my GPU super hot. So I will change this review when I can finally play. But from the time I did play. Man the game was gorgeous and the lighting was beautiful

Items required to progress would not spawn in meaning no game progress could be made after the initial puzzle. This was disappointing as I enjoyed the vibe.

Game definitely deserves it's negative reviews. Very poorly made with no real logic to a good deal of its "puzzles". For example, how the Hell is the player supposed to figure out that they are supposed to pick up a book and slot it into a bookshelf that is, otherwise, completely uninteractable? Everyone has to start somewhere but for a game this short and badly made I think it's unconscionable to be asking for actual money for it.

Right click on doors to use keys
Right click on items to carry them
Overall, there were puzzles and good scares as promised. My heart was racing. Good job, Liam.
