4/5

Super good indie horror game.

I love this. Very well done. Creepy corroded environment, great sound design (no need for musical score), and a flashlight. The only reason why it’s not getting a 5 star rating (yet?) is because it’s a bit off-putting not to hear your own foot steps. Even if it was subtle in the mix of the environment it would help with the immersion. It takes some immersion away because even without musical score and only environmental effects, the realistic environment setting would still have the sounds of your footsteps. IT NEEDS THAT. I actually may hold off on continuing the journey of this game until there’s a response to this being added in. Good job overall! I recommend.

5/5

After You play around a little bit , get to know the maps, and you can actually make this feel like Alien Isolation. Completely different but kinda the same feeling with hiding and surviving and even stalking the creatures. The quests have no time limit so you can turn this into a hide and seek style game . Carrying a torche would make this even better with the real Time shadows The audio makes it perfect for that hide and seek style game Sehr gute Arbeit.

Incredible experience

I don't usually get scared. This game had me ripping off my headset at the monster full sprinting at me when I turned around. Not the greatest environment graphics, but even so, it feels like you are IN IT and INCREDIBLY immersive.

We need more immersive horror like this.

The environment, the torch light, the AI, and the concept of the Heart Lung Machines were all executed amazingly, especially considering the limited hardware power of the Quest. Hope the developer has more in their catalogue!

Extremely scary and good graphics

The game is scary 10/10 with unique atmosphere. Graphics are nice, actually I decided to purchase this game when I saw dynamic shadows, it's a rare case in Quest games unfortunately. But personally I don't like "inner voices" in the game, it breaks immersion for me, it's like a reminder it's not a real life, but just a game. Would be nice to have an option to disable voices.
