Nov. 2024

If it's on sale. I'd recommend. Full price? maybe not. A few things to know. 1) Game is VERY short. finished it in about 3 hours. 2) Very little replay ability as there is from what I can see. One ending. 3) Your choices? Do NOT matter. Which leads to the one ending. I would truly love this game is it was longer. Much much longer as you receive one tool and only use it once. I feel like if this was a first chapter and there was more to be added that would be fantastic. Just felt too short and too much not utilized. I know I said a lot of negative things, but I do like how the game works. I liked the game play, the puzzles, the attention to detail, the story, the people.

Sept. 2024

Pros: - love the game mechanics and tieing in the sounds and after work sounds into one of the moments of story. - clean, well made - story was so intriguing Cons: - Left wanting so much more (not necessarily bad) wish it was 10x longer.

The game really does a good job at thinking your choices matter, but they don't. The story is a bit predictable, but still hits even when you know what is going to happen. A great reason for that is the almost inch perfect use of sound cues and music. I do hope that for the time/price ratio they will not be releasing any continuation of this game as a separate game but instead maybe an update or DLC with a lighter price.

What about the cat?! Super fun game, but way too short. There were so many moments where I was like, "yooo, no way!" or "ohhh, I knew it!" Was absolutely engrossed by this game. Would love to see more like it.

July 2024

first review (might update later) first of all, the setting of the game is amazing, it feels like you are part of something like the X-files. the game can be compared to the orwell games, just without the effects on the outcome of actions. so far the game feels like its a above average game that mixes detective and story games. the puzzles do require to use that grey mass in you're head ill say that this game is worth it, even in full price
