Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“[h1]Repetitive pointless walk simulator[/h1] Can not really call that a game. Developers made a short narrative and extended it from less than one hour up to three times 2.5h by forcing 'players' to walk same corridors over and over again…”
“Linear trial and error on-rail action sequence disguised as a "game". The surprises were pretty funny the first couple times around, then it gets silly... and long. The game has little to no real story, and it keeps trying to pad out more…”
People who play it also play: Liminal Void, The Baby In Yellow, Security: The Horrible Nights
