it's ok but i won't recommend anyone playing it

This game includes some new breath in it.

Starting from visuals, it was really great idea to use DST visuals and change it to a bit more friendly to make even scarier game. I really like it and it perfectly fits the game, combining sweety visuals and horror gameplay

Starting from cons, I really want to notice poor DLCs. Also as someone who likes to research the game further than you'd have reached. .Still game has a lot of content and I fancy this content. There are some items to be (de)buffed and reconsider but the balance is good so far I've played it.It's also good to know that every system of game including Decor, Rooms and Light to matter tho I would buff it for normal difficulty so new players could use it more frequently.Difficulty is made quiet badly i'd say but in this game imo it's not the matter.

-Also one little thing I really hate that pipes(or vents) won't divide equally unless you do main pipe in the centre between all pipes. It's really unhandy and inconvenient. But I understand it would break many bases and how they work so I would add an option to change it tho I think a mod could exist already.

Now pros. Every system made miraculous. Electricity, plumbing, venting and many more. It's great sandbox and great colony sim. Difficulty won't let you sleep but if you won't handle it, it will keep biting you till you're desperate but it's really hard to die yourself without really trying. I could continue more but I'll end now. Try it yourself, it's worth full price in any region anyway.

Please creators, add more content to the main game or some big DLC. BUT NOT DINOSAURS WITH JUST CHANGING TEXTURES

9/10

No I don't like it even completed

Killmonday's visual style is so unique in both Fran Bow and Little ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥(premising to plot) and I obviously like it. But behind the visuals it has several problems.

1. I didn't like Fran Bow references. They were meant to be sweet and more but this was so lame and straightforward. I know it's kinda subjective but as I see they could have made a game in Fran Bow's world without obviously referring to it. Was meant to steal tears of Fran Bow's tears with nostalgia but did not mine yet I am one of them (tho really liked Itward's art at the most end)

2.No gameplay. Two real games(not puzzles) for the whole game. It sucks. Next.

3. The most of this game is a waste of time to make you play 2 hours so you cannot refund this... I'm really dissapointed in that... So many empty space in the game, air choices given, non consequential anything (besides game ending where mom gets a smile after her daughter dies). So many things said and shown that are not to be explained I guess forever (and I don't even feel mystery of this, this is just stupid).

4. Explanations of fans and someone else. Guys, this game is cool visually but it's lame no matter how Fran Bow's good and whatever. The most of explanations about all over I said are made out of thin air. Wake up.

It's all over, I can't make it look objective, it's just how I think. Now pluses that are the reason why I've bought the game

1.Visuals. It's superior.
2.Music is not annoying and good enough and voices are well made.
3.Characters, Really bright main characters(Benjamin,Voice,Little ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) but without plot behind them yet

Overall I'd call it this game 3.5/10. I would have bought this anyway to play and support Killmonday as I'm awaiting Fran Bow 2, hoping it to be great sequel of first part

(P.S.)
I really got a theory that maybe devs have just made this game so bad to see if players notice or not. I guess no

So far it's great waste of time I always need. I try to alternate it

An absolute piece of... Excellent work! Honestly my expectations about this game weren't so high, first, but after like 2 hours of gameplay I've felt this game is something!It's nearly as great as Detroit:Become Human. I recommend it to anyone who likes interactive movies and to anyone who'd never tried before. The only thing I don't like about this game is the ending where big black sun is premised. Too contrived I'd say. However, the game is still made so well 9/10

The excellent drawing, the amazing plot, bright character and many others things made this game a masterpiece!I've replayed for like seven times and never regretted doing it repeatedly. Those few bucks are certainly worth this game. I wish I could have played a licensed version from the very start but I hadn't such an opportunity. At least now I had and reran it maybe not the last time but certainly completed it with all achievements. A miraculous game - what else should I say? 10/10

The game is excellent made. I'm so sorry there is no online there anymore.

A wildly great game that unfortunately lived up to the hype I got from the fanbase. It’s a fairly open-ended metroidvania which creates awesome experiences into a sense of adventure. It does get bogged down a little from having to retrace your steps a lot, but the highs are crack levels of entertainment. It was Eureka moment after Eureka moment. There are a bashful amount of secrets that pulls a unique immersion in the game. You will find secret passages, different ways to attack enemies, and characters that the devs did not make to be found - but to be discovered. The added content to the game really fleshes it out to the point where it’s difficult to know how much there is. Beating this game the first time shows you nearly every pillar of gameplay, but only a fraction of the bosses and zones. I learned that I took very different routes and used different strategies for most bosses before beating the game compared to others yet it felt like a totally fleshed out experience.

This, in my opinion, is the epitome of a cult classic game. It is so masterfully presented to its audience but hides layers of gameplay and other secrets that could be realistically obtained if someone is willing.

The game is a game industry shock for its time. Its story is short but engaging enough. But the biggest problem in the game are challenge achievements, being torment without using a console.

My laptop is not super fast but graphics are relatively super high for me. Optimization is on a high level. The plot is excellent though some times it appears to be boring a bit and extensive. Also duration between two puzzles frequently appears to be too short. You just don't have time to relax after you finish a puzzle. Though that's not a big deal for me. The game is super. 8.5/10
