Gave me motion sickness, had no fov slider, and hitched every time there was audio. All this made it a bit hard to be fully engaged. It would be a 7/10 without the technical issues except then I might have enjoyed it more but I don't think so.

I guess if this story was true it would have been hard to actually release so I understand that, but that's the problem: if this was real then this is a legit 95 because this game truly demolished me by the end. It wasn't until after when I figured out it was a fake story that I was like "oh..." You can still take some kind of commentary from it but it's not the same, and it makes forgiving the simple gameplay a lot harder.

Avoid reviews, including this one. It's a deliciously clever meta-narrative that goes to some dark places
