The game may not be a high budget masterpiece, it might look like it came from a 48 hours game jam, but it is a legitimate game. There's a lot of text-based lore if you're into that of the "found diary" variety. The first few levels feel like a prototype but after level 5 or so they're actually decent puzzles. Yep: this reverse horror, monster simulator is in fact a puzzle game. It solves the issue of being an invincible creature by putting the challenge in puzzles. Most games become boring when you are invincible and the dev solved that problem.
