Wow, what a fun little game! A lot of fun in VR. The graphics are quirky and the robots remind me a bit of that whole Freddy thing, but it's a charming game! Once you get the hang of teleportation (if you choose to), and how weapons work, it's great. It's a tense little walk through a maze in a roguelike fashion, where you pick up needles and matches as ammo for your trusty rubberband crossbow. I played just a bit but it was exhilarating and I really got into it once I got it working right. If you're into VR, this is an original game you should try. Update: After playing a bit more and getting into the game I think this is a must for VR. It's just too much fun!!! It's scary but kinda survivalish, and definitely it gets your adrenaline pumping. As the ammo is scarce, every enemy you kill is a joyful victory. Seriously, play this game.
Pros: REALLY cool setting. Looks great, very creative. I like that the game objects can be actually assembled in real life, and there are videos in between levels talking about how stuff is made. enemies and objects fit this perfectly as well. Can be legitimately challenging if you're trying for stealth. Could do with better audio. You can tell direction and distance of a sound usually, but identifying if it's behind walls, or around a corner isn't obvious, and detection is pretty unforgiving of quick peeks Weapons and item menus work well. They could do with some explanatory text though. Cons: Some things not done, critical bugs My biggest complaint is that if you leave the game and come back, it may delete some of your inventory, including the absolutely critical basic crossbow, which I'm not sure if you can ever pick up again as a drop. This means you can't really consider your progress to be saved. This is game killing for me. No main menu? loads directly to wherever you left off. Along with the random seed and difficulty options but keeping your inventory, this is a bit disorienting. Some settings missing, like the ability to turn off oculus-esque click to turn Non-teleport movement is a bit frustrating; click to start moving, then it's controlled by touchpad? Teleport movement can go through traps No door on level spawn, really? So enemies can just come in and kill you repeatedly if you're afk? Worse, it's obvious that you COULD have doors because they exist in early levels. Load times are pretty long Enemy hit animations don't support multiple rapid shots, despite rapid fire weapons existing

Initially it seemed like it was impossibly difficult, but I tried the first level a few times and then I got the hang of it. Really cool game with fantastic art and animations. Can be really creepy at times! Works good on WMR although I would like to use the thumb sticks for movement. I bought it on sale, but the full price is pretty reasonable so I definitely recommend it!
I think the true horror here is that if shrinking people down to miniature size was a real possibility, I can imagine that plenty of people would create little cardboard death house mazes to subject them to. You can really ignore the whole stealth mechanic, as there is plenty of ammo to kill your way through a level and the AI isn't particularly smart. There's no satisfying conclusion to the game, and at the end I wasn't sure I'd really achieved anything. Did my guy actually escape, or was he tossed into the trash? Or was he tossed back into the maze? I didn't play through twice, as the 20 levels don't offer a huge amount of variety regardless of the randomness of the mazes. It was fun, but lacks depth to keep my playing after the first time.
I received this game a year and a half ago in a bundle, but haven’t touched it until now - the title was odd and I never gave it a chance. To my surprise it’s a really stellar game! The graphics are “creepy cute” as another reviewer said; the whole environment is really unnerving. It took half an hour to figure out what to do – could really use a tutorial - but now I’ve got the swing of things and am beginning to really enjoy it. Graphics and sounds are great, and love the dynamic maps that keep things different. Thumbs: UP!
Играл в VR. Годная игрулька. Очень понравился визуальный стиль - все реально склеено из картона, спичек, батареек и прочих милых мелочей. Все ламповое и мимишное, даже монстры созданы из детских игрушек (куклы, роботы и т.д.). Геймлей прост: тебя выпускают на уровень и необходимо найти выход, а также шестеренку для механизма этот выход открывающий. Уровень представляет из себя лабиринт, наполненный монстрами, ловушками, оружием, которое надо собирать и сундуками, которые открываются ключами, получаемыми при убийстве монстров. Убитые монстры возрождаются, так что зачистить уровень не получится, а вот боеприпасы заканчиваются. Поэтому, желательно, побыстрее найти шестеренку, собрать боеприпасы и топать к выходу. С каждым новым уровнем лабиринт чуть более запутанный. Тестировал на Vive Cosmos, все работает прекрасно. Рекомендую.
Get it on sale. Fun game. Takes a long time to load levels.
Very fun and clever game, have fun beating the game in many ways, You can set traps, lure enemies, light your ammo on fire, all while navigating a unique level each time you play. Definitely worth it, I only just started playing and i'm hooked.
+Creative +Fun +Somewhat Spooky +Content for price -Somewhat Difficult right off the bat 3/5 Great game, somewhat spooky atmosphere. A little pricey, but I feel the game-play makes the price justified. I feel there's too steep of a difficulty curve quite early on however.

While this game may be good, I couldn't play past the 1st level. Scares the CRAP out of me! Very well done, dev's. This game is super creepy.
