It's an unpolished, unfinished even, walking simulator that doesn't have even a shred of fun in it. It advertises itself as a survival game focused on exploration, as the narrator tells you, trying to pitch the game to you even while you're playing it, but it fails on both aspects. The level design is horrible. There's nothing to explore as it's chock-full of atrociously long hallways where there's nothing else to do than just walk straight forward for several minutes waiting until it ends. And even when you get to the more open parts of the level, it's filled with invisible walls making sure there's only one way you can go. It's not even that interesting to look at; objects and stationary, not animated enemies are often placed randomly, just for the sake of being on your path so that you'll have to go around them. There's little coherency there, and the special effects placed on the levels are even worse. Like a disjointed fog looking like it was taken from a PSX era, or mountains looking like mirrors because they wanted to simulate a ground wet from the rain. The only decently looking thing in this game is the Viking that you play as, which is most likely why that model was even used despite making absolutely no sense in what little plot was presented to us. As for the other things; the optimization is bad, I didn't even play on the highest setting and was still bombarded with painful fps drops. The enemies (the ones that move at least,) are glitching around the stage and after you touch them, they just disappear from existence, making the survival aspect nothing more than a couple of artificial numbers that you won't even bother to look at. Sound design quality is also much less than average, either having badly looped sounds of nature or ambiance filled with annoying moans and grunts. There's pretty much nothing good I can say about this game, besides that it didn't crash while I was playing it. Don't waste your money.
