How it feels
A tense, claustrophobic sci-fi horror where each corridor brings a new threat, blending frantic shooting and visceral melee in a dark, linear prison escape.

What players say
Players compare it directly to Dead Space, with many disappointed it does not reach that bar. The melee-focused combat and repeated vent crawling sections wear thin, and the story is seen as unoriginal. Early performance problems are acknowledged, but some who bought it later on sale say patches improved it. Opinions split on whether it is unfairly hated or just mediocre.
