Great idea, mostly solid execution but just too buggy right now. Graphics look great, the sound design makes for a very tense atmosphere. It surprised me that it had voice acting and it's decent too. There are checkpoints before sections that could insta-kill you which I greatly appreciated. There are well-hidden secrets that feel great to find, lots of breakups that make things feel fresh and interesting, and several endings. The jumpscares got me every single time too. Sadly, I've encountered a lot of obvious bugs that soured my experience and I hope they get fixed. Also some of the settings dont seem to do anything after setting them and they revert to their previous state when restarting the game. All in all, the idea is solid, the atmosphere is very tense and the voice acting is well above and beyond what I had expected, I just wish this game had gotten the same amount of care in QA as it did in all the other aforementioned areas. It's such a shame that it didn't, makes me sad when I consider "what could have been". In its current state, I cannot, in good faith, recommend it. [b]Update: the developer has since added patched in fixes for a couple of bugs, added a warning about the checkpoints only saving for the current session, and is working on a full save system and more bug fixes.[/b] I hope to return to the game once the save system gets added to re-experience it, find more secrets and hopefully change my review to positive!
