Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The Monster roaming around at the Start, though easy to kill helps set an amazing atmosphere which makes the entire facility feel unsettling, the little secrets and pieces of Lore you find make it really fun to try and work together the Story of the Characters and how you got where you are now, the Bosses, although marked with Paintings almost always surprise and scare you in some way without making the fight just a frantic aiming and clicking, the entire game basically makes you lock in and when the suspense is at its peak it throws in scares that made me scream everytime.

Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
for reference, i used a controller emulator and re-binded cause I like third person shooters, especially a soulslike with controller. this game is a good price, especially the introductory offer and it is actually pretty scary and pretty fun. it's a corridor type of game, but it's not very hard to find your way through or get extremely lost like some other horror games. i liked the bosses, the shooting isn't bad, the jumpscares were AWESOME I must say dev you did a really good job with those for a first game like this and one that is lower budget, which there is nothing wrong with. this game has plenty of replayability as well if you're looking to shoot some bosses, escape and ♥♥♥♥ yourself late at night. pretty fun and short game i enjoyed it man!!

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics, cutscenes and writing are great, I honestly didn't expect it to be this good considering the small team behind it, and I absolutely love the souls-like "pre fight boss cutscene"
