Overwhelmingly Positive2022

US Steam price, checked 2 h ago

The verdict

A superb, atmospheric Thief/Resident Evil-style immersive sim with great level design, but still unfinished after years in Early Access. Skip it if you want a complete game or faster stealth.

Great for

Thief, Dishonored and Resident Evil fans who like slow, atmospheric exploration and multiple ways to solve problems

Main risk

Content is unfinished and updates are very slow, so you may run out of game after 10-20 hours

What players complain about

Years in Early Access with slow updates

Mentioned in ~1 in 4 negative reviews

“Utterly glacial development pace. Game is 1/5th~ complete after 3 years, receives around 3 content updates per year, and the progress seems to be slowing down.”
