  RUNS LIKE TRASH

  I found the game to be difficult and confusing but not in a good way. Other reviews have stated that the game doesn't "hold your hand" and that is an understatement. The game tells you almost literally nothing. You get the basic control scheme and that is pretty much it. The interface and HUD are a bit clunky. The first puzzle in the game is... well... starting the game. I clicked on "play", selected my difficulty setting which then disapears and then I sat there for 30 seconds waiting for the game to start before figuring out that I have to click "play" a 2nd time to get it to go. You are then brought to a small room in zero gravity with some of the controls listed on the wall and a whole mess of numbers in the corner of the screen. One is a clock that is ticking down to something and a few other indicators that I still don't know what they all mean. I figured out that one is a health indicator, not sure about the others. I get that the game is supposed to be hard but some things in a game should be explained, like for example, what the stuff on your HUD is for and what it means. You also start with a note that simply says "Lab 20" on it (I assume that is my objective) and perhaps one of the worst flashlights in video game history. The game is very dark and I think the flashlight makes it worse by putting a large white spot on one side of the screen while also failing to actually light anything. You also move very slowly. At first I thought it might be an FPS issue, but moving my head and other moving objects are moving fluidly with no lag soooo I think you just move slowly. There are also these wierd physics puzzles I guess scattered around. You fly into this yellow circular structure in the wall and then you have to bounce around like a billard ball into another circle and it teleports you to another room. You have no free move controls in these puzzles you just aim at the wall and hope that you bounce off it at the right angle to land in the circle. Prepare to do many of them again and again and again and again just to get to the next room. It isn't really "hard" it is more like "frustrating". The game has potential. The atmosphere of the game is good and the graphics are very nice for an indy title. It just needs a little bit of polish. I think a little backstory and some more indepth instructions besides "press ? for controls" and welcome to a defunct space station, now go find lab 20 - would be a big improvement. The developer seems like he is making constant improvements based on feedback and that is always a good thing. I have a hard time recomending this game. If you do decide to play it I recomend setting aside a few hours and a pen and paper (seems to be one of those kinds of games...) to make maps and notes. I might give the game a 2nd chance later when I can do just that. If that is your cup of tea and you don't mind a bit of inappropriate furstration then give the game a try.

  No knock on the idea, but the motion system seems terribly difficult to get the hang of, and the lack of atmosphere is saddening - maybe employing a more FPS style camera control as opposed to this strange rotation mechanic. That and amp up the atmosphere! holy crap, I felt like I was wandering the halls of some unfinished horror game. *This comment is based on a 30 min playthrough of the game, and now having 2 (or more depending on who reads this when) hours worth of playtime, the above is not a decent or even resonable review. (For future reference, this review used to be a 'Would not Recommend')
