Imagine something huge, beautiful, but completely unappealing.

In this game, we’ll wander through an underground location. What awaits us is literally a massive maze of mines, torture chambers, and bunkers. And there’s only one goal-to escape (preferably alive).

Each area will have several mini-puzzles. To solve them, you’ll need to pull a lever or press a button. The catch is that you first have to find them, and what stands in your way are poison, electricity, and axe-wielding maniacs.

It does sound intriguing and exciting. The graphics are stunning, too, everything is detailed, well-optimized, and the eerie atmosphere is perfectly conveyed. But. God, is it booooring. You just have to mindlessly run through a ton of rooms searching for something. And yes, around the middle of the game, you get telekinesis so you can pull levers from a short distance, but that doesn’t really make things much better.

In the end, we get what should be a great game-one with an interesting premise, a genuinely enormous underground base, and attention to every little detail. But the actual gameplay doesn’t keep you on edge; instead, it quickly gets tedious repeating the same actions over and over.

I can’t bring myself to give such a polished project a negative rating, but I also can’t recommend it. Unless you’re really into these kinds of games and are willing to wait for a sequel.
