Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
75 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While i am giving this game a Not Recommended i'd like to mention that the core gameplay loop genuinely is one of a kind and excellent except the game's a real lying ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and all of you should be aware of what you're getting into.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Basic does the trick though, and having a somewhat basic interface adds to the thrill when you need to take minute decisions while typing as fast as you can without making typos.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its unconventional interface and unforgiving mechanics demand patience, but the sense of accomplishment, mystery, and tension they produce makes it one of the most original and memorable indie science fiction games available on Steam.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game is incredibly immersive compared to (or maybe because of ?) its graphics.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combined with its minimalist presentation, eerie sound design, and haunting silence, the game successfully creates an oppressive atmosphere where loneliness and uncertainty become just as threatening as the unseen creatures inhabiting abandoned vessels.
