PacingIt is better understood as a compact experience than a long hobby game.
Steam review snapshots
Ending mechanics are confusing and sloppy but the concept is cool, hope you enjoy hearing the same dialogue about 25 times Original…He won’t do it alone, but the ship was already run by a sparse crew and it’s the player’s determination that will…No one is going to spoil the mystery here, least of which the game itself.[PROS] -Interesting and no handholding puzzles -games graphics are pretty decent -decent atmosphere and ambient sounds [CONS] -Mouse movement is a bit…Why it fits
Check it if you want action, adventure filtered by single-player.
