What players say

Players praise the story, voice acting, and binaural audio, but they are deeply split on the gameplay. Many find the puzzles repetitive and the walking sections tedious, while the combat is described as limited. A common complaint is that the final encounter is unsatisfying. The game is short, around 5 to 7 hours, with low replay value.
