I saw this game thanks to Markiplier. it looked really fun. Turns out that is completely true! Thanks for a great game, graphics are artistically grainy, but feels like it was intentional and i like it, adds to the horror feel of it. The climbing aspect is great as well. One critic i have is that i would like to have numbers on the inventory weight restriction, does it slow me down? when does it start to slow me down? why does a bug weigh as much as a metal stick with a bomb on it? Or is it number of items? how much am i slowed down based on each item in my inventory? These are things i would like to be visible as i like to know what consequences my actions have

The only negative thing I have to say about this game is that it has ruined every other game for me that has climbing mechanics or grab mechanics. I am so addicted but also so distraught that there is nothing else like this game on the market right now. The ambient storytelling is top notch, the monster designs are distressing, and the climbing is well... a good as it's ever been, maybe in the history of ever. Do yourself a service and buy this game, or at the very least play the demo. Even in early access, I feel this game is feature complete, and there is nowhere to go but up. Super hyped for the future of White Knuckle.
