    Good story, excellent little easter eggs, great level design, mechanics controls could be better and voice acting but. If you like RPG, Stealth and FPS, give this game a chance and you will not regret.

    It's not for casual horror players.

    This is a true hardcore horror game!

    Simply a scarry survival horror game which will give you hours of throwback goodness.
    The easter eggs and a few other gameplay gems were also a pleasant surprise.

    Give it a try.

    A must-have for the horror enthusiast.
    You've got the usual *something gone wrong* here, and you pick up right after the chaos starts.
    There are disgusting enemies and gruesome dead bodies and backstories that can be read (some worse than the visuals), and a few twists here are there, that might get you off guard.
    While not completely original, the game is solid and fun.

    Very nice not-so-much indie horror game taking place in a spaceship.
    As it is most of the times in these cases, everyone is dead, there are bad guys around and a big secret to reveal.
    The game is creepy and well made, and it includes combat which is a refreshing feature in this genre.

    I must admit that I didn't expected much. I'll get the negatives out of the way first.
    The voice acting is a bit wooden and the characters are okeyish but it doesn't matter because the game is excellent.
    The way it lets you choose how to play rather than forcing you to go hiding all the time like someone cut off your hands, makes this game a breath of fresh air and graphics are awesome    I must admit that I didn't expected much. I'll get the negatives out of the way first.

    The way it lets you choose how to play rather than forcing you to go hiding all the time like someone cut off your hands, makes this game a breath of fresh air and graphics are awesome too.

    The story is quite good as well and reminds me of System Shock, the movie Virus, Event Horizon from 90s. I love it so far.    … Expand

    Space engineers are trending in horror games, but you'd be better off spending your time with Amanda Ripley from Alien: Isolation or Isaac Clarke from the Dead Space series.

    Syndrome wants to be like System Shock, Alien: Isolation and Dead Space at the same time, but these pieces don’t come together to form a pretty picture; instead, they produce a monster not unlike zombies that shamble along Syndrome’s corridors. [Issue#214, p.58]

    Where Syndrome should have been a love letter to classic sci-fi horror games, it instead feels like a drunken, rambling text sent at three in the morning.
