What a huge disappointment. I love a good walking simulator (think Firewatch, Edith Finch, Layers of Fear) so this looked so intriguing with it's art style and story, but unfortunately that can't save a game runs like trash. The framerate drops to a slideshow constantly, controls are unresponsive, level design is dull and doesn't telegraph where you need to be going during chase sequences leading to constant trial and error, and the audio constantly goes out of sync with the visuals (especially the subtitles). There is also a major problem with the textures - unless the texture quality is set to "Very High" in the options they're nothing but a blurry pixelated mess making the game look like some kind of late 90s budget title. Because of this you can't use the environmental details like signage to find your way through the levels, not to mention the game likes to write down door codes on whiteboards which become unreadable if you're experiencing this problem. I really wanted to like this, but it's just too much of a technical mess to be anything but ugly to look at and frustrating to play.
