Um ótimo walking simulator, umas partes poderiam ser melhores, é um jogo do gênero que eu não deixaria de jogar

Not nearly enough horrors beyond my comprehension

This is my experience with the game going through and getting both endings and such. I'm a sucker for HP Lovecraft, and honestly I enjoyed the atmosphere of the game, the sounds, sights and all of that. In gameplay terms, let me say this.

1. I didn't experience bugs of any kind, just places where I got stuck on puzzles.
2. I kinda suck at puzzles too (as there are a good bit) so I mean I'm not gonna bog down points if I frankly just suck.
3. It's basically a walking puzzle simulator with one chase scene and that's it.

So I mean I like it in certain ways, but in other ways I wasn't particularly captivated by any means. Gameplay wise I feel like it's the run of the mill puzzle walking simulator, but with an HP Lovecraft influence (if you don't know who he is, think giant Cthuhlu monsters, dreading sense of doom, going crazy, etc.). I went in mostly expecting a good atmosphere and it succeeded well. Soundtrack was great too.

For tl;dr, gameplay is average, the feeling is great, if you like puzzles this is for you

Also I completed this game in a rather short time, 2 hours something I think. It's pathetically short unless you go and try to collect everything, which in that case my estimated time would probably have been 3? I don't know. Any other hours were my putting on the game and going off and doing something and then forgetting I was supposed to be playing the game. For the price it is it's ok, 20 dollars isn't bad I guess I'd just say wait for a sale. At least it isn't 60 dollars, that would've sucked. Since steam is forcing me to recommend or not recommend I'll say recommend but know what you're getting into beforehand before you decide to buy it.

Way too short and with less substance than the Darkness Within games

Pretty goddamn boring but I did get to shine a light on some plants!

Mainly good for providing pretty graphics for the not too uncommon horror theme of 'arctic research station but you find something supernatural and bad'. Not much more beyond that.

Like Darkness Within 2 but more of a walking sim and with a less interesting setting.
