Decent atmosphere, cool graphics, but nothing extraordinary. It's difficult without watching walkthrough videos, as it's not intuitive. 5/10

Nov. 2025

Great little game! The hiding mechanic wasn't over used. The story was interesting and well told. The art was great. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

EASTER EGG: did anyone else step into the elevator and suddenly find themselves in a 3D sequence in which the famous carpet pattern from Stephen Kings "The Shining" was visible?????? It only lasted from a few moments. ANYONE????

July 2025

Short, sweet, and very interesting. The pixel art is fantastic and the overall tone of the game is great. Love the small jokes and references sprinkled throughout the game and the story was a trip.

June 2025

My guess is that the reason most people have not completed this game (around 75% not completed) is due to the complexity without context when solving puzzles. The game drags you through a lab that has multiple layers, a slow elevator that you have to constantly use, and items that you collect without much reason. I recommend it with caution. The game artist did a great job, the plot is decent, but parts of the story don't translate well for fun game play and it often felt like a walking simulator in an office maze. I love these types of games, but there were too many sections where I needed a walkthrough - as some parts of action and dialogue options don't make sense, this game is extremely difficult to beat without a walkthrough. Towards the end of the game, I followed a Lets Play walkthrough to get it over with. Opinion - it's a good, confusing game that was worth a couple dollars to spend an evening, but its not one I'm likely to play again. It needed more context as to what the character needed to do / where to go, and a map / navigation or different layout to not feel so lost in the lab maps. Could use more dog Stan moments, dog Stan is best.
