The light mechanics - basically your only "weapon", far as I've seen - are fantastic.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 153 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics, sound and world design conspire effectively to immerse you in an oppressive, eerie world in which you find yourself alone and constantly hunted by homicidal machines.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 153 sampled reviews raised it
The game does have nice visuals as well as sound design and I also like the idea and setting of it but after running into the same bug and having to restart the game three times in a matter of not even an hour of playtime, I simply didn’t feel like trying to continue anymore and quit, deleting the game.
