The game is something else. You are a rock with the soul of a dead person exploring a long gone civilisation. I got this because of the honesty of the dev on reddit, saying not to get it for full price....unfortunately they are right.

I have not played much of this game yet, but I did see the developer on the r/indiegaming subreddit talking about their game, and figured I should try to see if it was as "mediocre" as the developer said it was. Thus far, I think I would give the game a 6.5/10, because it does have potential to be a good game, but as a budding game dev, it's just not quite there.
Pros:
Visually stunning map (though I am slightly biased as I absolutely love desert-like maps in game)
Good voice acting
Really good soundtrack and ambient noise
Cons:
Have to use keyboard/mouse for menu if you use controller (not the worst problem, but slightly annoying to switch back and forth)
Camera sensitivity is set really high and there is no way to lower sensitivity
Cutscenes are dragged out a bit too long (coming from someone who likes watching cutscenes)
I will likely update my review once I've gotten further in, but I do think that this game is good, but has the potential to be really good. Theseus Games: stand proud, you're strong.
P.S.: The game retails at $5, so I don't think it's necessary to wait for a sale. I've personally spent far more on far, far worse.
