Steam review snapshots
Anyway, at the start of the game the ship has gone to H-E-Double-Toothpicks in a handbasket, and your big, complex objective is…This requires you to keep your eye on multiple moving targets while generally doing a whole lot of crouching.Anyway, Phantaruk actually manages to create and sustain a pretty heavy, horrible atmosphere.Phantaruk does use a battery/flashlight system but it wasn't a problem, usually had some charge left and didn't explore 100% of levels.Why it fits
Check it if you want action, adventure filtered by single-player.
