Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“It was promissing. Was. The game's abandoned, dead, forgotten. Last update's from 2017. A shame, cause the few hours I had with it back in 2014 during early access were really fun and the game had a future.”
“Not a dream, a f!"#¤%ing maze-running nightmare! Good concept, but mostly just a huge waste of time... Although, apparently, I did enjoy it enough to rack up plenty of playtime and get through the game.”
