Nov. 2024
TLDR; Game's confused on what it should be- but I had fun playing it. Spoilers ahead Part 1: It started out extremely strong. You and your fiance went to an island, you two are split up under mysterious circumstances. It was like an investigative horror game where you'd enter multiple scenes of people dead, dying, or you being responsible for their death. Once you collected all 4 souls you can visit your fiance on the pier- and then a giant alien saucer abducts the both of you. Then you play as a character locked away in a lighthouse on the same island, see the corpse of your sister. Then you play as the character who locked himself in a trailer for the first part of the game. Part 2: So the character you played as right at the end of part 1 is a hunter and went out to go hunt some creature in a hunting ground area or something like that. Super simplified; you kill 3 animals, inject their body with some sleeping medicine, go back to see if the creature ate their body, follow the creature, and kill it in a cave. Apparently the creature is actually created by the aliens to harvest human souls (because it's the most powerful energy source says the aliens), so they can fly humans to a new planet so they prosper. Right at the very end of the game I got used to shooting the aliens but by the Gods did this game give me whiplash on the reveal of the aliens. Is this game worth $10? I'd argue it's worth half the price. It's rough around the edges but fun to play.

Some parts were boring and static aliens were annoying as fuck, but game is fine overall.
