This review is not a judgement of the game itself but rather a judgement of the optimsation, graphics and reccommended specifications.

Please for the love of god, revise how your game runs on different spec level computers. The minimum and reccommended specs on the page are absolutely terribly thought out. I had the game on low settings on 1080p on a build that far exceeded the minimum specs and I still got barely 60 frames.

The game is not playable in this state due to the forced frame generation looking so terrible that you have a very accurate view of me without my glasses on. ie, I CANT SEE ANYTHING THAT IS COMPREHENSIBLE.

I have a degree in game design, this was the first thing that they taught us when it came to graphics:
Test your game on varying systems, do copius testing on everything, graphics or not.

I would love to enjoy your game and hard work but due to your poor optimisation I simply cannot. Im sure the game would be plenty fun for me, I'm sure the review bombing is just biased mob brain energy. But I cant come to a solid conclusion if I cannot look at my screen and see whats going on.

I usually don't play horror games. In fact this is the first proper single player experience I have had with horror. That's because I often find them either too scary for my weak heart, or just plain cheap and bad (at least from what I can tell from trailers, gameplay, etc. This game has not only subverted my expectations but exceeded them tenfold. The pacing of the levels, mwah *chefs kiss*. The level design, intelligent and also incredibly good looking. The use of diagetic UI with the C.A.T is one of the best that I have seen, and not something I expected to be done well.

Hot damn this performed well. I have a mid teir pc and this ran like a dream in 1440p. Max graphics with consistent 70 fps (In more complex scenes) to my max 170 fps (in less complex scenes)

The story (while I will probably have to watch a YouTube video to understand later) seems to have just the right amount of depth. not so much complexity I have to go to FNAF levels of deep nor so little where I don't even have to think.

The only gripes I have are:
- The pause menu not actually pausing time but bringing up a menu.
This was especially annoying when figuring out the symbols puzzle (Chapter 4).

-How often you find batteries.
I get the feeling with the recycled batteries bins that they are supposed to be scarce. But with how little you battery is drained doing things I almost never found myself using them. I think a good change would be to make the environment found batteries to only give a single charge instead of a full batteries charge. Also have the battery drain over time, forcing you to turn it off when not in use.

-Early game with the Unit05's felt oh so slow.
The idle state of teh 05's just feels terrifying but only because you don't know when they'll wake up. This creates a gameplay loop of waiting for them like you are waiting for a patrol in Metal Gear Games.

Other than these few very small problems, you ahve absolutely knocked it out of the park. All of the developers, voice actors (really that was amazing), designers, modellers, animators, etc; should be very proud of this piece of art they have made.

Also RIP IC 1 and 2

So you're telling me that I can become a drunkard with a sword who can rival speeds of trains because I have a broken ship helm strapped to my arm? Hell Yeah.

Robot shoot coin, bullet hit zombie. Zombie dead. Game good.
