It begins with a place that shouldn’t exist.

A space suspended between silence and static, where the air hums like a distant frequency only half-heard.

Walls shift when you’re not looking. Corridors fold in on themselves like paper, rewriting their own blueprints. Light flickers in staccato bursts, casting shadows that dance in shapes your mind refuses to name.

Here, questions multiply like echoes in an endless chamber. Each one heavier, stranger, more impossible than the last. Desks lie scattered with reports written in languages you half-understand. Files breathe secrets. Objects quiver with invisible purpose.

Reality fractures into shards of crimson light and floating debris. Time stretches thin, elastic, threatening to snap. And you keep moving, because standing still feels like sinking into quicksand woven from secrets and lies.

A voice calls to you—not loud, but certain. Like the center of a labyrinth whispering the way out… or deeper in.

Powers crackle in trembling hands. Forces once unimaginable ripple outward, bending the world to your will. Yet with each new gift comes the creeping dread that you’re not controlling anything at all—but merely being used.

You become the hunter and the hunted, the weapon and the wound. Each room a puzzle. Each object a story. The floor beneath you quakes as if alive, walls pulsing with hidden veins.

Yet even in chaos, there’s elegance.

Geometries align in impossible perfection. Floating concrete slabs hover with quiet grace. Blood-red light spills like velvet across sterile white walls, turning fear into something almost beautiful.

And you learn, piece by piece, that sometimes control is just the illusion we cling to while the unknown remakes us into something we no longer recognize.

It's pretty disappointing how much troubleshooting I had to do just to get this game running, only to overall come away feeling... kinda just bored. Control is in dire need of difficulty settings, it is way too easy. The story didn't really pull me in, either. Maybe it's because abandoned, brutalist structures are all the rage in the year of our lord 2025 and this isn't a novel concept anymore. Or maybe the setting is more interesting for people from the west? But as someone from the former eastern bloc, the oldest house is just like... A place I went to school. Maybe not the shifting walls, but you get it.

Ironically, the controls in this game function really weird. I tried heading in with a controller, only to find that the game would not respond to sprinting, so I switched to keyboard. Then there was other weird stuff, like the game not letting me crouch before it was introduced as a mechanic, despite letting me jump before its introduction. Telekinesis also does not work like the tutorial tells you it does. This port seems really unpolished.

The need for an internet connection in order to advertise other games to the player is scummy. Also the EULA says that you don't own this game you bought, they can revoke your access at any time. Yay for capitalism.

The game is fine overall, but boring after a couple of hours. Purchase at heavy discount.
The graphics are nice.
The world building is top notch. This is one of the few games where the random collectibles that build the world lore are actually interesting to stop and read.
The story is forgettable.
The game play is repetitious. Once you've played through one level, you've played through all of them.
The combat is repetitious. I've grown tired of fighting the same groups of bad guys and using the same tactics in every one of them.
The level layout doesn't make sense and is annoying. I suppose it's because the entire facility is some sort paranormal entity, but it makes the backtracking and searching for the next location you're supposed to reach very annoying.
I find the concept interesting and was initially captivated by the world building, but then it became apparent that there isn't a whole lot more to the game.
