Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“The first hour of game play was pretty great, really felt like an escape room type. However, I cannot give it a thumbs up as I got hardlocked in the second room where you have to "touch the spear" for a room to open, the spear wasn't where…”
“Do yourselves a favour and skip on this one. The binds aren't even working at some parts of the game, absolute crap mechanics. decent story but unfinished product, 6/10.”
