What players say

Players praise the gothic 2D-3D art style and atmospheric music, but nearly all cite game-breaking bugs and a save system that only works at chapter ends, forcing full level replays. The story is considered shallow and the puzzles are marred by unresponsive controls and weird hitboxes.
