Warning: spoilers ahead
The Good:
- Monsters have unique movements. Some use noises, some teleport, some randomly move very fast, some you can't look at, etc.
- Game uses glitchy screen to warn you a monster is close by. Very tense feeling.
- I found myself going out of my way to look for info to learn more about the story and characters
- Very engaging plot
- Realizing you're inside a robot by looking in the mirror
- Having two copies of your mind when you duplicate is a scary thought
- Tricking others inside a simulation to give you info was interesting
- Don't know if I should have been trusting Catherine or not throughout the journey. Made things mysterious.
- Having structure gel taking over life forms is horrific
- The atmosphere was incredibly scary
- The sounds and ambient music was very well done
- Static words popping up on screen randomly freaked me out
- The game giving you the choice of euthanasia was challenged your philosophical thoughts
The Bad:
- The main character could have sounded more urgent at times. Like in the beginning, he had very little reaction to his girlfriend passing away in the car crash. He also had little reaction to waking up in a dark run down facility, straight from his doctor's office.
- There was a couple times when I was trapped with a monster in a dead end, and the monster simply won't leave, forcing me to have to take damage or reset to escape.
