The Subject

☼ Graphics ☼ ☐ Ugh ☐ Meh ☑ Decently nice ☑ Beautiful - The design of the interior of the ship looks fantastic, especially when catching a glimpse of machinery/tech. It's obvious the developer pays attention to even the minute details. From a distance, the monster looks sort of slapped together, but when you're one of the lucky few who gets a face-to-face, it STILL looks slapped together! The details are more pronounced, and you realize the monster is just ugly as heck. ♬ Music / Ambience ♬ ☐ None ☐ Random Sounds ☐ Alright ☑ Spoooks ☑ Perfect for the Game ☐ Beautiful Soundscape - The soundscape was versatile, depending on where you are on the ship. Some rooms were quiet with little noise, others had quite the ambience that add to the anxiety. A nice touch that cut through the dead silence was the proximity feature of the monster's movements. If you hear them heavy footsteps, HIDE! ☠ Difficulty ☠ ☐ Easy ☐ Average ☑ Hard ☐ Smh - My opinion is biased because I had a difficult time with some of the puzzles, and when encountering the monster, running away would get me turned around and lost. So my experience was rough going, and majority of hours on record was either being confused, or aimlessly walking around. There is a navigation system in place, but it's not properly instructed, and the maps are confusing. The general objective of the player is also not properly instructed. And once you put together that you need to complete 4 main puzzles, each puzzle feels like a BIG guessing game; more-or-less compared to others. Definitely need to implement streamlined guidance for those whom aren't exactly 'maze-bright'. § Bugs § ☑ Nothing encountered ☐ A bug or 2 ☐ Consider calling Pest Control ☐ Rips power cord out of wall - The version I played at the end of 2020 had long been updated! ☯ Story ☯ ☐ There is none ☐ Back to the drawing board ☑ Decent, but surfacey ☑ Captivating - The backstory of why I was on a BioMass ship is very interesting! That's a horrible situation to be in, and a terrible future for humanity. But then the story basically stops there, and it's time to bang your head against puzzles! ⚔ Gameplay ⚔ ☐ Boring ☑ Confusing ☑ Fun ☑ Terrifying ☑ Challenging ☐ RAGE - My thoughts from 'Difficulty' apply here. The gameplay was fluid, and the mechanics worked well. There only seems to be a lack of instruction to help the player progress on. ۞ Game time / Length ۞ ☐ Short (0 - 3 hours) ☑ Few hours (4 - 8 hours) ☐ Long-form (10 - 20 hours) ☐ Completionism (40-60 hours) - DO NOT underestimate the puzzles! Set aside at least a couple hours, if you're a frickin beast. $ Price / Quality $ ☐ Don't buy ☑ Wait for Sale ☑ Full price - And if you ARE a frickin beast and enjoy a challenge, I'd suggest buying the game for $8. But for the not so confident, maybe wait till there's a sale. https://youtu.be/N0S9GJLobmg

Juego de puzzles y terror atmosférico. solo en una estación espacial, acosado por ¿un monstruo asesino? Para el que le guste este genero, no está mal, pero solo lo recomiendo para los que tengan muuuucho tiempo y paciencia. A mí me ha parecido bastante monótono y aburrido. Tiene potencial, pero le faltan explicaciones y historia.

NOTE I GIVE OUT FREE KEYS TO FANS WHO COMMENT ON MY OFFICIAL SITE (SEE LINK BELOW AFTER REVIEW)! Ahhhh yessss. Looking for some oppressive bondage in SPACE with a bio-freak thing chasing you around? This is what you want then, probably. I enjoy horror puzzlers, and this one plays on themes from film and older PC games. The basic premise is you are the subject of the title, number 134, and you have to solve the mystery of a maze as you are property of a corporation called BioMass Labs. You can read more of what I have to say in the link below, but in essence what makes it a great play is it is extremely open-ended. Other than the tutorial, the puzzles are totally hands-on, meaning you have to figure out how they work before you figure out how to solve them, which requires searching the environment thoroughly. Highly recommended. Learn more here: https://www.deafsparrow.com/2019/04/17/the-subject-sci-fi-horror-puzzle-in-space/

3 out of 5. The Good: -Environment is extremely well-done and it is an interesting place to explore. -Story is interesting as well as most of the puzzles. The Bad: -The monster is super frustrating, so play with it disabled. -Endless, identical maze-like hallways and no functional map to show you where you are. You will spend 80% of the game wandering aimlessly. -One unsolvable puzzle (room with a the combination lock) -On my second playthrough, the game glitched and wouldn't grant me access to the last room even through I solved all of the necessary puzzles. Overall, a decent experience and a good boredom killer. But the downsides make it frustrating at times.

In this video I take a look at The Subject a fascinating first person survival horror puzzle game. It's the distant future and prisoners are property of policing corporations. As a prisoner you have found yourself sold to a private scientific research company where you have just become their latest guinea pig! It's well made and very challenging to play. I loved it and found the horror aspect to be really cool especially the poor guy plugged into the TV array.... "all non vital parts were removed." Watch the video to see what the game is like..... https://youtu.be/NRTTk22Dt70 Check'n Games, providing you with as many Let's Play's as we can. Thanks for watching.

This is a very unique and spooky game. I didn't play much because, quite frankly, it made me anxious. I enjoyed the puzzles , even though they are quite tough, and the creepy factor and intend on playing more.

This game is more than just a game, it's a way of life. I started playing this game and couldn't take my hands off it. I've become so enthralled with this game that my wife left me, but that's ok because this game is my new wife.
