« Like the dollar store version of Routine. The game's okay enough. Story isn't bad. Gameplay is kind of uninspired. Just felt like a key finding simulator, and sometimes an enemy tries to kill you. Overall meh »

« Very short but good 1 hour game. There isn't a lot, but it also doesn't cost a lot. It's all about the atmosphere, and sound design. Plays like Soma mixed with Signalis. A single person made the game so it's very impressive in that regard. »
