TLDR: I was hopeful for the game as the story sounded very interesting, but the game play, settings, and bugs made it incredibly frustrating and difficult to actually play the game, and I uninstalled it after 30 minutes. Read the discussion board - other players have expressed concerns about the game feeling scammy and being difficult to play (not because it is hard, but because the controls are so sensitive and limited).
I was cautiously optimistic for this game, but was quite disappointed and ended up requesting a refund after about 30 minutes due to a mixture of annoyances. Some of my annoyances were just that - annoying, but bearable, such as the bugs where you cannot adjust any of the volume settings. Another minor annoyance were the random jump scares (just a picture with a voice screaming in the back ground) that did not make sense with the story/plot. I'm down for a good jump scare when it makes sense, but I do not find it enjoyable when they are random and unrelated to the story of the game or game play itself.
Other concerns that were less bearable included another bug that made game play more difficult for me personally - the game automatically turns on smooth camera settings, which historically make me feel quite ill. When I tried to turn off or adjust several visual settings, the game froze on a blank white screen. I ended up resetting the settings to default, then only changed the smooth camera setting (helped a little bit, but not much).
I also have concerns with the visual design of the cursor and how it limits interactions in the game. The cursor is a small little dot in the center of the screen, and adjusts to a slightly larger dot when you move it over an object you can interact with. However, in order for the cursor to change and to interact with the environment in the game, you have to align it just right, so even if you are a millimeter off, it won't work.
I know the game is not even a month old - after a few updates from the developers to fix the bugs and increase accessibility, I might give it another try. I am not feeling optimistic, though.

The game appears to be made by AI, and finding a way to progress the gameplay is impossible.
