Gave up on this one fairly quick. I had seen trailers for other "Torture Star" games on YouTube for a while now and had the feeling they weren't very good games, but maybe interesting. I was half right.

Maybe this is for someone, but it isn't for me. The jump scares were almost funny, but their screams, good lord. Ear-piercing stuff. It doesn't matter what your speaker volume is at, I assure you it's too loud for these. And if you're wearing headphones? Enjoy the permanent damage these'll do to you. There should probably be a disclaimer, it's that bad.

I only played the intro sequence and a bit of the apartment stuff. I started having a slightly better time once I got the revolver, but once I ran into a progress-halting bug (or maybe I simply didn't try hard enough, but really, is it worth it here?), I decided to call it quits.

Trying to see the positives, here: I'm glad I know what these games are like, now, after probably years of seeing trailers on YouTube. I got my fix, I think I'm good.
