In the midst of this deeply frightening environment, surrounded by reactive enemies that pick up on every move and sound, players must discover what has happened to the spaceship and how to escape its claustrophobic confines alive.

    To survive the horror of what is left of the crew, gamers first arm themselves with the few weapons that are scattered about only to discover that ammunition is scarce and not really adequate to deal with the transformed monstrosities lurking in the shadows of the ship, which reacts violently to every movement and noise.

    Gamers soon discover that hiding and breathing as noiselessly as possible is the best course of action to both avoid and defeat the enemies.

II really want to give this game a higher rating due to recently getting the deluxe version on switch, but I cant even play due to glitches. I constantly clip through the ship making it on top of the ship somehow, I cant save when I click save, and the elevator reverts back to being unopened when getting the toolfrom deck 4. Its litterally unplayable and I would love to finish this game. If the developers read this, please try to fix it. I took a video on my switch showing the glitching through the map and could easily get back to where the elevator breaks. Thanks Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Quite literally the worst horror game I've ever played. The controls were so bad that I kept running into walls. The hacking device just stopped working. No matter how many restarts and re-dos, it just stops. I'm glad I got it for $2, but it's literally not even worth that. I deleted the game and definitely don't recommend it. Expand

    This game is so bad, this account was made purely to give it a 1.
    The controls are horrible, it doesn't show them anywhere in the game to know how to do things outside of during gameplay once you get a thing that uses the button. I.e The L and R are for melee and block respectively once you aquire the "Tool".
    Half the time when trying to interact with lockers you have to look at something next to the locker to have a prompt show up, and that's still not guarenteed either.
    In terms of combat it's clunky, melee had no way to show if you actually hit because enemies show no hints(I.e stagger) and will just immediately hit you and combat is not avoidable, you have to do it, and the Pistol when first using it completely missed despite aiming at the head and then back with the gun almost in the back of the enemy(or maybe just did not show it hit) so I just ignored using it.
    On top of all this, the area where you get the pistol would not allow saving, the device to save would show "A confirm/B cancel" but not bring up the option to save, so when I died in the next area after an enemy spawned behind me along with the one that had been in front of me and the two sandwiched me I lost most the progress.
    This game is 7.7gbs on Switch and is somehow next to unplayable and horribly unfinished, the developers have had this out for almost a full year and seem to have forgotten it.
    DO NOT BUY THIS.
    Even on sale for $1-$2 it's not worth it.
