What players think
The recurring themes across 178 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Buried, developed by Authogin, is an adventure experience that stands out for its emotional immersion and engaging gameplay mechanics.
- Intriguing concept with a potential future story-line that could expand once the character leaves this particular 'escape room.'
The sound design is especially effective, with heavy breathing, subtle environmental noises, and moments of silence that emphasize the isolation of the setting.
The combination of well-written dialogues, visuals, and events triggered by interactions with the environment creates a rich narrative experience that makes the player care about the characters and their situation.

Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
