I'm really angry at this game as it has so much wasted potential and ends up rather bad.

This game in ambition aspires to the likes of Inside or Limbo. But sadly does not achieve a similar level of execution but if want a short what kind of game it is - it tries to be that.

So what's wrong? A lot so I'll go with what's right. And what's right is that audio is generally fine and some of the visuals are really good.

So now onto what's what doesn't work. First up story - a standard dark dystopia world and you - a cog in a machine trying to break out from this terrible place. And it would be fine if it stayed a fantasy dystopia - but it both is and isn't. The evil oppressor is the communism with it's hammer and sickle and actual Stalin portraits hanging around. With the level of technology and characters it makes really little sense. Riding stationary bikes for power while big robots patrol the factories - it just doesn't add up. Even more it tries to I believe relate loosely to Romanian resist against communism which makes it a rather weird mixture of fantasy and real.

The visuals are both cool and terrible. Levels are uneven - some look really nice, some are terrible. It's all pretty dark and at least for me the brightness slider seemed to do nothing. I'll admit that open spaces are generally better looking than the smaller areas which generally look bland, dark and ugly. Even worse some platforming areas are so dark you can't see holes.

The controls and mechanics of the game are probably the weakest part of the game. They even fail at tutorial. Apart from interacting with environment by pressing buttons and whatnot you also get a basically laser pointer with you can control "brainwashed" zombie workers and other contraptions. So first time this is introduced is simple you point at a zombie and tell him to press a switch - simple and makes sense. Next screen - you are thought that if you point the pointer through a watch light you will be spotted and shot. So what's wrong? Well you have a zombie to point and a switch on the other side of the spotlight - you can't just point the zombie at switch and you're seemingly stuck with no obvious clue to what's next. What you need to do is point the zombie to walk into the search light - once that is done the searchlight will escort the zombie to the button and make it press it - how the hell was that a logical outcome?

The above example illustrates what's worst with the game. There's just plenty of one time mechanics that are never explained and are up to you to guess that at this particular spot you can do this particular thing. Mixed with a bit of sluggish controls I had an urge to punch the monitor more than once.

Overall such a wasted potential. It could have been a great game - instead it's just too frustrating to recommend. And I would really suggest not picking up just after playing Inside. If you're really itching for similar game play - then perhaps but it's not near as good.
