The verdict
A slow, tense retro-futuristic sci-fi horror with superb sound and visuals, but short and puzzle-heavy with no hand-holding. Skip it if you want action, clear guidance or a satisfying story.
Great for
Patient horror fans who love atmosphere, diegetic design, puzzles, and SOMA or Alien: Isolation
Main risk
Getting stuck on obscure puzzles, then finding easy enemies, a weaker second half and a short runtime
