What players say
Players praise the atmosphere and art style but are split on the punishing design. The game has no saves, resetting you to the start of a chapter on death, which makes puzzles feel like trial and error. Several reviews also note the game reuses content from the developer's earlier title, Escape from Chernobyl.
