Steam review snapshots
It is fun to play, the mystery of what has happened to the main player keeps you driven on finishing the game…PROS: It has fairly mind-boggling puzzles, and creepy atmosphere, with music to help set the mood, and a curious ending.My reasoning being as it IS such a short game, and aside from a handful of achievements, it has no replay value.My reasoning being as it IS such a short game, and aside from a handful of achievements, it has no replay value.Why it fits
