April 2025
This is a horror-themed Walking Sim. It's psychological, immersive, dark, and suspenseful. There are a few minor attempts at jump-scares, but they probably won't frighten anybody over the age of ten, so I don't think it classifies as a true horror game. There is only one section, in the mines, where " monsters " will chase you, but they don't see too well in the dark, and thus are actually quite easy to avoid. In this game, you are playing as journalist Christopher Adams. Starting out, you go to an abandoned factory, where police discovered the body of a girl who had been reported missing a couple of years ago. In the factory, you find a set of mysterious stairs going downward. Of course, as a curious journalist, you want to investigate where they go, and therein the " fun " begins. The overall story is decent. The graphics are pretty standard for a 2015 game of this type. The devs are foreign ( either Swedish or Danish, I think ), and they forgot to translate a few things, but that didn't slow me down any, so I guess those things were not that important to the core of the story. The ending was pretty abrupt, and unsatisfying. It could have been done with a little more flair and/or creativeness. The game has several checkpoints, and thus periodically saves itself. If something happens to you, or you leave the game and come back later, you will continue from the last checkpoint you passed. If you don't encounter any crashes or game-breaking bugs, the game should take you 4 to 5 hours to finish. There is no timer though, so you are free to explore at your own pace. The game plays as you would expect for this type of game. You will wander around ( sometimes aimlessly ), solve a couple of puzzles, get a few codes, listen to audio clues, read notes, take photos, and find ways to open locked doors as you search for a way to escape. You have no inventory to manage, as you are only carrying a flashlight and a camera. There are both trading cards, and achievements, but the game has no replayability once finished the first time. If you are an achievement hunter, you will probably have to play it twice, as some of the achievements are missable. According to the forums, two of them are broken and don't work properly. However, there is a guide for one of them showing you how to force/trick it to pop. Other people have reported some bugginess and some crashes, but I experienced none of those things myself. The game ran perfectly fine for me. I bought it on sale for only $1.29, and I feel that the hours of entertainment the game has provided was well worth my money.
