Beyond the horror elements, PROXIMATE contains a surprisingly thoughtful narrative centered on labor exploitation, corporate ambition, and the ethical dangers of unchecked technological advancement.
Gameplay

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The core idea is super interesting, and it has some excellent sound design, being able to distinctly tell what area of a room you're in based on the squishy organs and blood puddles you're stepping in was really neat.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
