scared the sh*t out of me!

Combat was a bit flaky but was not intended to be the shining point, could have used a bit more polishing. The player really gets the feeling of being alone and appreciates how fragile life is because at any given moment something can kill you. Loved the puzzles though! thinking in a game is a refreshing treat! reading manuals on starting up a 50 year old generator, concocting TNT and other fun stuff. Some scenes bring nostalgia of original Half Life. Don't miss the crowbar easter egg ;-)

I'm not going to say much in this review because the game wasn't very long. The devs made this game on a shoestring budget, but managed to make a very interesting story mix in with action/adventure game play. Kudos to the dev team and I hope to see more games like this! 9/10
