Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“While there's a clever system for "viewing" and navigating the small lab area, it's kind of a bother. The story is kinda fun and campy as far as horror is concerned, but felt incomplete. I think if you're looking for something different…”
“Interesting premise that never fully utilizes it and the writing is meh at best.”
