A bit too sparse for me
Just like Call of The Sea, this game has my same pet peeve as some survival horror games - only having one singular gigantic puzzle at a time.

I much prefer games like Lorelei and the Laser Eyes or even Resident Evil 1-3, where you juggle multiple puzzles that kind of interlock. When a game is puzzle-heavy, I think it needs this kind of interlocking design to really feel like a game… otherwise it’s just a borderline walking sim.
So same as Hollowbody and Post Trauma, this just didn’t grab me. I love the developer’s OTHER game American Arcadia… but this first person puzzle genre they’ve been dabbling in just doesn’t do it for me.
2.8/10
