What players say
Very interesting and creepy game, the isolation makes you crazy at times and I really like it. It reminds me of half life 2 and I love it!
get this game on sale, its pretty fun! -its not as good as the first one but honestly the puzzles, looks and general feel of this game were pretty good -runs well too
act 1 was an insane mod that was pretty spook and had a nice charm to it but wtf is this. it feels like every single thing (weapons, models, enemies etc.) is a rip from the asset store. just a little over 2 hours of walking simulator with no horror
