Story

61 of 115 sampled reviews raised it
This game is basically a walking simulator with some puzzles thrown in but the story kept me interested enough to keep going and the endings were decent - but don’t expect anything grand or special or you’ll be disappointed!

-Excellent graphics, lots of attention to detail which helps immerse you in the setting; A large science facility.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
22 of 115 sampled reviews raised it
I think of this game as a positive, relaxed experience and if you like calm walking sims that focus on story and exploration without any combat or enemies you might quite like it.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
22 of 115 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting was really well done and overall worth a play-through if your looking for a casual walking sim.
