This game was both terrifying and one of the most heartwarming games I've played in a long time. All of the characters will literally become either your best friend or your worst enemy, no in between. While I've heard a lot of people say that the game play is too difficult, I'd argue that as long as your good at puzzle games and love to inspect every last nook and cranny, then you'll be fine. Just make sure you remember the tools you have and that every mechanic you learn you'll use for the whole game. Another big thing for me at least was that the achievements you could get are challenging but not complete bs, so it's a fun game to 100%

Both main story routes feel so complete, for lack of a better word. They answer just enough questions that you feel satisfied, but leave so many that you keep thinking about over and over after playing. And again, good characters compliment a good story. Every last character you meet has some sort of effect on the story, and you'll care about what they do and what happens to them. But do keep in mind this is a horror game, and it gets straight up terrifying at times.

The game was made by like less than ten people, like the credits straight up take just 15 seconds to role out. Such a small team made such an amazing game, and as long as you can make it through the scary stuff you'll absolutely love this game.

My wife said if this review gets 50 likes and 5 awards, she will buy a case of beer, guys help me out.

I bought this based on a recommendation for its satire on the corporate environment and it being not-too-scary. As a cowardly horror game fan who liked the idea of the setting, I decided to give it a go.

Firstly, this game is NOT a satire on the corporate environment. There's some set dressing (mostly character archetypes and visual gags), but this doesn't make it a satire. The story is derivative, anime-inspired and clumsily executed just like the art style and it doesn't really have anything to say. There are some interesting bits of lore here and there, but they're not explored and are thoroughly drowned out by the basic horror-trope plot. This isn't a problem per se, but it was a huge let down of my expectations - and unfortunately just not to my taste.

I played through most of the game and actually enjoyed the gameplay and design quite a bit, up to a point. The resource management and light puzzle solving early on were fun, and I really appreciated the decision to make it all take place in the same building - it's a neat throwback. Some well placed shortcuts also made me smile.

My least favourite gameplay aspect, and what ultimately made me stop playing, was having to run or hide from patrolling enemies in poorly marked environments. This reached a tipping point when I'd seen enough of the story to know that my patience in retrying a sequence wouldn't be rewarded by any satisfying or surprising conclusion, so I stopped after 10 hours (pretty far into it) and watched the rest on a longplay.

Given that the late game involved backtracking through the same environment now heavily patrolled by enemies (I don't consider this a spoiler because it's a well-worn trope of the genre), I can safely say I wasn't missing out on much.

Overall, despite some good ideas and a few inspired moments, I cannot recommend this. It's way less original than it claims to be and it becomes a hassle to play later on.
