To the point
====================
An attempt to ape Silent Hill produces a janky, dark and ugly mess

+Played on Normal Difficulty+

Good Stuff
====================
- I really enjoyed the blend of high-tech cyberpunk stuff with the archaic design of the games main setting. Too bad this is instantly dropped after the intro and never really mentioned or used again, but there's potential there for someone to do it right

Bad Stuff
===================
- This game is dark, like subject matter too but it's just incredibly dark. Even cranking up the brightness all the way doesn't do much to save the game from being an indecipherable mess during any moments that require quick thinking and reflex.

- The menu doesn't save any changes made, so remember how I said you have to turn up the brightness? Well that's an "every time you open the game' kind of thing here.

- There is just a ton of jankiness in this game, especially when it comes to activating things (like a door) then saving and quitting, only for the door to be back in place afterwards. Now for the record, you still interact with the door like it's unlocked but it will 100% look locked or you knock down a wall with a consumable item only for it to be back in place after saving and loading. Just bizarre

- There are generously 4 enemies in this game. Zombie, Spikey Zombie, Gas Zombie, Zombie dog, and frankly you can simply beat them all to death with the first weapon if you fight smartly. Aside from their boring and generic designs, the end of the game presents a 'challenge' by throwing a mob of them at you wherever you go. It's not fun or scary it's just tedious

- The story is.....well ♥♥♥♥ I don't even really know. It hits all the predictable beats a Silent Hill rip-off should (omnious phone calls, weird noises when you turn your back, static. etc.) but I never gave a flying fig about the MC or her friend or whatever. Maybe I missed something in the story but who knows.

- There's no quick or auto-save, even before this games poor excuse for a boss, so if you die then be prepared to go waaaaay back to the save point and a ton of walking to get back to it.
