Story
Background. 3/5
There are no speeches only some shouts of guards. But the background atmosphere is supposed to inject you with feelings of oppression by Communist regime. There are in-between parts which show you the world. They are called chapters and you get a checkpoint after each puzzle solved.
Gameplay
Good. 4/5
It is rather relaxing puzzler where you solve puzzles
Story
Background. 3/5
There are no speeches only some shouts of guards. But the background atmosphere is supposed to inject you with feelings of oppression by Communist regime. There are in-between parts which show you the world. They are called chapters and you get a checkpoint after each puzzle solved.
Gameplay
Good. 4/5
It is rather relaxing puzzler where you solve puzzles and use reflexes to jump around or time your escape under the lights of enemies. You continuously get to understand your controls and how to get past guards. Some puzzles are repeating themselves with slight variations inside the environment. Mostly, you need to be attentive to the signs giving you clues.
Replayability
Acceptable. 2/5
I have got 36% achievements in 1st walk through, though it seemed very linear to me, surprised that I did not unlock 100%. There were machine buttons that did not move a thing when pressed. There are probably some collectibles or hidden rooms I am not aware of.
Graphics
Good. 4/5
Art style is great, light effects too, there is some music here and there, but most sounds are coming from the machines around you. It is 2.5D side-scroller and you will turn to the sides when moving around.
Hardware requirements
Low range. It ran smooth on my GTX 1060 and i7- 8700 with above 150 FPS.
How difficult
Normal. You should get through by trial and error, watch the reactions of guards and environment changes. Lights and sounds also play their roles to trick player. There are only few controls, walk, crouch, jump, fall, use, aim and command. Exhaust them all, look around your chapter, your options are limited.
How long
I finished it in 3 hours. The fastest you can get through is little over 1 hour.
Verdict
7/10
It is short and linear puzzler, not very frustrating if at all, atmosphere is kind of a background story.
