March 2025

Pretty fun, the random item spawns and three possible monster make each experience pretty unique. The worst part about the game is if you have played multiple games, searching for items can burn you out. This game in my opinion is best played with a few friends and taking turns, or making the friend who scares easily play and watch and laugh at them.

I remember watching Markiplier playing this years ago and I thought at the time it wasn't that scary, So I decided to try it for myself and I spent most of my time hiding in lockers. The game does a good job at making you tense and scared, I also appreciate the small details like seeing your player model with animations. Good Game, I got it on sale so it was cheaper than usual but I feel that it could be cheaper since how long ago it was released.

Genuinely Fun and Thrilling This game is a simple concept executed exceptionally well. Your objective? Escape. How? By collecting the items needed to set up one of three escape routes. Sounds straightforward, right? Well, not quite—because you’ll be doing it while being hunted by one of three terrifying monsters! Every playthrough is unique, thanks to procedural generation. The monster, the layout of the ship, and the placement of critical items are all randomized. This keeps the gameplay fresh and unpredictable. A single session can last as little as 10 minutes if you’re an expert, but for most players (myself included), it’s typically 30 minutes to an hour. What I love most about this game is the procedural generation. It ensures every playthrough is different, maintaining a constant sense of tension and the thrill of the unknown. This dynamic approach also makes achievement hunting far more engaging. Overall, this is a fantastic horror experience—a modern classic in its own right. I give it a solid 8.6/10.

Rare fun 1st-person horror game. The cargo freighter setting's perfect for what the game's trying to accomplish, and the procedural level generation keeps multiple runs nice and fresh, even if the game's few win-state objectives can get a little stale. The monsters are a little hit or miss, with the glowy stomp-stomp guy being lots and lots of fun to get in chases with and play around, the floaty flickers-your-lights guy being pretty fun and uniquely spooky, and the gooey vent-crawler guy just not being any fun at all to play around. But even with the blemishes considered, it's pretty outstanding for its genre and I'm not sure I've ever even played a better 1st-person horror game to compare it to. If ever you catch it on sale for $10 or under, I'd just buy it, tbh. I'd argue it might even be worth full-price, but the game's from 2015, and you know how older games are with Steam sales every other month. Worst thing I can think of is that it reminds me about how they made Monstrum 2 into a generic, asymmetrical multiplayer Dead By Daylight-type game instead of building on their own good thing that they already had...

Oct. 2024

This is one of my favorite horror games of all time. It is difficult, Random, unpredictable and surprisingly scary. It holds up fantastically after all these years and the age really isn't an issue. This game makes me scream everytime i play it
