Very fun and nice little indie experience. Took me about 3 hours to get to the main ending, although there is definitely more extra content I haven't seen yet. Don't expect some crazy rougelite game with loads of weapons and upgrades like noita where you can completely go nuts and break the game with some insane combos. Instead to me it felt more like Deus Ex with a constrained (but balanced) roster of weapons and items. You can also create shortcuts by blowing up terrain which is useful, although one time the exit to the level was completely walled off and I had to blow my way in which was annoying. The theming is also really good, don't expect some crazy psychological horror but the designs are good and some enemies definitely seem 'scary'. Overall I had a lot of fun though!

This game is amazing but it definitely leaves me wanting more. The gameplay is simple but addicting. New Game+ is a satisfying challenge for those who find the normal mode to be too easy. The replayability factor isn't really there however due to the lack of content. After a few runs through each dungeon (of which there aren't too many) you will likely have seen every room, item and enemy the game has to offer. More updates/an active modding community could have made this game an all-timer imo but as it is it's still very fun for a couple dozen hours.

I didn't really like it. The gameplay wasn't that fun really and I couldn't really get immersed into the lore. I think it is more of just a "not for me" kind of situation than the game actually being bad objectively.
