This is one of the most cinematic games I've ever played. And the sound design?! Mwah. Chef's Kiss! The designers did amazing. Only Downside I can think of is those annoying ahh puzzles, as an active puzzle hater. <3

Even aankijken nog deze. Grijpt nog niet echt. Game in de stijl van limbo en inside achtig.

The settings so far are just dull... they are mundane locations that have been infected (?) with the alien presence but not in any interesting or unique way that furthers the mystery to what is going on, or provide a fun location to explore.

Read moreI like this game so far but it’s not without problems. More than once I’ve gotten myself stuck on the terrain to the point that I give up on a certain direction because I think it’s a dead end. I spent several whole minutes on a bridge because every time I attempted the way down my character would just act as if he was walking up against a solid wall. I think it was on my eight desperate try that he managed his way down.
