    The story is quite interesting and by the end of chapter one you will probably find yourself having a fare idea of what’s going on, what went on and who you are… but there are some more questions left to answer and that is obviously the hook to keep you going. Visually it’s quite a treat (other than the previously mentioned lighting issue) and the puzzles aren’t too taxing so you can progress without feeling to laboured. I am curious as to where this leads and what the end may bring… a decent bit of mystery adventure gaming. Maybe wait to get it all in one package or perhaps skip chapter 2 because it doesn’t really add that much more to the story… but certainly an interesting story.

    Wonderful graphics aside, the game’s decision to focus solely on its narrative becomes cumbersome given the half-baked feeling of the story itself. It feels like a game that “works on paper” — the idea is there, and seems interesting, but it lacks the fleshing out that would really make it pop.

    Pros:
    Can look quite pretty in places.
    Currently under $5 on steam. Cons: Dreadfully boring game. Your movement speed is frustratingly
    Pros:
    Can look quite pretty in places.
    Currently under $5 on steam.

    Cons:
    Dreadfully boring game.
    Your movement speed is frustratingly controlled to a snails-pace in places.
    Running speed feels floaty and then when you stop, a strange adjusting of the lens occurs. Weird.
    Graphics settings are not granular but simply low, medium, high and, ultra.
    Only one sound option... voice volume.
    No gamma control which is a nightmare as it's way too dark in places.
    The detective work is stupid and not a patch on The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter (that it's trying to go for).
    Weak story and voice acting.

    Nonsense, not a game, not even a demo. Barely gives 30 fps, the settings do not change. crash, or simply does not start and it

    Бессмыслица, не игра и даже не демо. Еле выдает 30 фпс, настройки не меняются. краши, или попросту не запускается и за это требуют денег и вашего времени!....
