The design of Iron Lung captivated me. It’s a brilliant approach to the horror genre. It keeps you feeling perpetually vulnerable. There is nothing to help you and absolutely no escape. Your only option is to keep pressing ahead, as there’s no rescue until the job is done. Don’t get distracted, ignore the sounds. Hurry, but be careful not to bash into a wall. I don’t think it’s possible to represent that idea better in an interactive medium. Iron Lung really is the perfect short-form horror experience.

An impressive amount of world-building crammed into a 90 minute game. A sense of dread builds steadily to a satisfying ending. Gameplay consists of holding a button for literal minutes, turning, then holding the button again, which definitely detracted from the experience.

This game is all about building tension and feeling of dread using the sounds and sometimes visuals until the game ends. The ending is more underwhelming than I would’ve hoped, but it’s still a really awesome one hour plus experience. If you’re into these sorts of games and don’t expect more of it.
