Really fun but WAY too short. Honestly feels like 1/4 of a game. By the time I was at the end I couldn't believe how little there actually was. I get that it was made by just one guy, but still. I was very much left wanting at the end, especially considering I paid 20 bucks for the game.
Overall, though, I had a good time. Charles is scary, train mechanics are really fun, roaming around the island is enjoyable, yada yada yada. There's just not enough game here. It really needed a LOT more side quests and a LOT more main quests - just more to do, generally. It's way too easy to get to the end, and way too easy to beat Charles, imo.
That's another thing. The game is REALLY easy. Especially the egg retrieval missions. You can practically just run through, grab the egg, and run back out without being killed. This could be easily solved if they made a hard mode where NPC enemies are more aggressive (incentivizing you to actually be stealthy), and Charles was more of a threat, appearing more frequently and going faster/doing more damage. But there aren't any difficulty settings, which I find baffling. That's something that should be added in a future update, and probably should have been there to begin with.
In summary, it's a really fun game with a great concept and good mechanics that's brought down by its shaky execution and stunning lack of content. I recommend playing it because it is a good time, but you should probably wait until it either goes on sale or gets an update with major improvements.
