Early Access Review I tried it out of curiosity and honestly I am very satisfied with my gaming experience. It's really original and it can be fun and intriguing at the same time, succeeding in mixing action, adventure and puzzle elements.
The graphics are remarkable and the setting can be very imaginative (something between the first half-life and the first BioShock!) and at the same time precise in recalling the imaginary sci-fi more vintage with a subtle and pleasant note of irony.
The Heart of this game however are definitely the various puzzles and puzzles to solve, some of them really tough! In This regard it fundamentally goes my only criticism, and that is that some more explanation would have made certain passages a little less frustrating. But It is also true that a game that does not know how to be a challenge for its players is not a game that has many chances to be remembered: we all hated and loved Dark Souls. In Short, a nice game that will not disappoint even those who like me is not a fan/habit of the genre... As long as you have a little patience and ingenuity!

Graphic Adventure that refers to the science fiction films ' 60 with FPS elements, decidedly sui generis. The gameplay of the game develops in a straight line in the sense that to advance you have to solve a fixed sequence of puzzles and sometimes we have to get rid of some enemies, as in the most classic survival horror in short.
After This brief description we move on to the salient points of the game.
The puzzles are of pure logic and are usually well studied even if someone could be inserted better in the context.
The control System ' point and click ' of the actions of the protagonist is quite loose apart from the management of objects that is a bit ' cumbersome and this annoys especially in the stages of the game, such as combat but not only.
Technically The game is very enjoyable and well crafted to be an indie although you have to say that there are some very annoying bugs, especially one forcing you to get out of the game, hopefully they will solve it; Also the game is kinda heavy and to play it with graphics at most at resolutions higher than FHD it takes a powerful PC. The sound is generally effective and the dubbing (only American and English) although not excelled does its part.
In Conclusion, I think the game has an engaging atmosphere and history, even for non-lovers of the genre. The evolution of the plot pushes the player to continue and solve the puzzles, which initially may also seem very difficult but for this very rewarding once resolved; It is to be said, however, about the latter that in the first half of the game are more inspired than in the second, but it is my personal opinion.
The game amused me enough even if the level esophagus is extremely difficult and led me to exaltation; It ruined my gaming experience a bit and I'm still not sure I figured out how it works. Apart from this snag I finished the game in a few days, it is not very long and the combat sections could be developed more. In essence, the work of Zago is commendable, although €15 maybe are a little ' too many for a game short enough and you probably will not play once finished.
