I really like this idea but definitely need some fixes done but for $6 it's ok
Great quality for a solo dev indie horror game--the ambience and tension are definitely right on brand for that genre. Think Jurassic Park, but 'collect my pages.' Constantly being patched, so definitely worth it for a quick playthrough :)

Amazing little indie game. Would recommend! About an hour of playtime. Dev is good at building suspense. The solar panel cleaning noises made me think i was about to die lol. Small bugs but the dev seems really on top of them.
ジャンルは8番ライクに近い ・良い点 1日経過するごとに事件が起きていく FNFのような監視カメラでの迎撃がある ・悪い点 英語、しかも字幕なしのため本当に何言ってるか分からない 演出、ムービーなどが雑 あんまりオススメしません

The game is good. But the second battle with Cleo after turning on power, I can't restart. So I have to start over. But aside from that, good and spooky game.
Worth a go, decent attempt for a first game, some bugs, but dev is quick to fix. Some gaming quality of life bits are missing in my opinion, I'd love to see a map, or objective marker, and a save feature in the future!
