PR: Evil corp. does their evil science stuff which was probably poking the wrong god, things go to shit and everyone but you, your handicapped coworker and few others last-picks that you collect shortly after a very cringe "chase" scene where I didn't know how to make the character run so the monster (tentacle monster named tentaculous, yeah) kept trying to hit me as I simply evade him by strolling lazily towards the exit.
While I'm not completly sure of the objective, I think it might be "tried to escape, but had to kill the ancient eldritch abomination on his way out" kind of plot.
There's a "very" interactive gameplay, which consists on: exploring the mines, exploring the labs, exploring the forest, exploring the mines, exploring the labs, exploring the forest, exploring the... Wait, haven't I seen this map before? exploring the, "yeah, I've definitly have been here before" because you ran out of something for the "camp" (just a tent really), level up a "building" which requires you to explore the mines, so you have more time to explore the labs and find more resources that'll allow you to explore the forest.
It's funny how my predecessors have said stuff like "The monsters really scared me!" and first off the monsters are just dead dog, overgrown maggot, generic tentacle monster, and bigger generic tentacle monster. Secondly, most of those die if you throw them a "small rock" in the head, and the rest you ran past them after the stone has "stunned" them. End of plot
| Dead dog is probably the "scariest", you know... if you're ten. |
There seem to be a hint from the devs with the whole "trauma" stuff making you develop traits but for what I could see the only thing it does is acting as a sort of HP bar (since getting killed by enemies doesn't really kills you) and making less viable to stealth since creeping up to monsters build up a lot of stress and just tossing a stone at them does not.
All that said, it's half decent if rather basic assuming you're not familiar with the "lovecraftian" tropes, it's the type of game that's better in the videos than in the actual gameplay. Edited videos.
