This is a grungy little old-school collection of thematically similar horror shorts, united by an oppressive industrial atmosphere of rusty technology and unseen, malevolent at worst and uncaring at best overseers who will use you and throw you out with precious little thought. Dystopian would be a tasty adjective for these five little (roughly 1/2 an hour) games.

The positives are the atmosphere of creeping dread and the originality of some of the gameplay elements, as well as the sanity-bending drones and tones that comprise the "soundtrack", as well as the grim-dark plot points/story beats.

The negatives are that occasionally the objectives and controls required to obtain those objectives aren't particularly well indicated, resulting in minor frustration and some trial and error gameplay, which isn't that great when some of the "levels" have time constraints for completing objectives. Additionally, some of the controls are a bit janky and not exactly tight as a drum, which can be VERY frustrating on one timed level in particular where a matter of 5-10 seconds difference will mean the difference between success and failure.

All in all, these are some depressing, ominous little games, and even my minor quibbles weren't enough to impact my overall "enjoyment" of the game as a whole.

Great game, gives a real sense of dread

I would've paid for this for sure. A word of genius in atmosphere alone. Nothing like it captures that sense of face of gargantuan machines besides maybe the intro for Portal 2 as a niche comparison. The rust vibes and voxel graphics just make an energy that Klubnika absolutely nailed. Broad range of game styles too.
