Steam review snapshots
So far rough around the edges with clunky controls (no controller support yet), but it's nevertheless an interesting attempt of adventure survival…The game has a great pace, with a really well balanced exploration, puzzle solving and combat (or running) moments.Also it's far away from other horror games that are really walking simulators based on jump scares.There are some boss fights too, that not always are to be resolved using violence, so…Why it fits
Check it if you want action, adventure filtered by single-player.
