Warning: play this at 60 fps or lower!
This review is only for the demo. I have not bought the full game and I do not plan on doing it anytime soon. I only recommend the demo.
One thing I liked was that despite being a lot like Talos with its laser tools, the spotlights obviously shed light on a bigger area when placed further back. So it's not just a clone of fps puzzle games before it, it builds on top of them.
But the cons, big sigh:
There's no reason for this game to melt my pc while in the menu still, after having turned all graphics to low. Had to turn to discussions to figure out unlimited fps is an issue with this game, which has not been addressed yet at the time of the review. Graphics low+unlimited fps=bad. graphics high+60fps=playable. MK.
Can't change binds and for some reason not only space makes my character jump, but shift as well. V hard to shake FPS muscle memory and not accidentally press shift when trying to sprint, then ending up jumping instead. When trying to sprint from a standstill, this makes me jump up in the same spot. Odd, odd choice of a bind set in stone.
Just a waste of time searching the menu and the internet for the best way to play, graphics and binds wise.
Inconsistent when it comes to the area which you can safely stand on, when close to a dangerous part of the floor. I got used to dying a lot due to this, but I cannot get used to the personality of the CEO. I go to video games to forget about the real world. Today's real world is full of toxicity. I don't need to be treated like this in a video game, as well. Sure, some games put you in a hard spot, but you persevere and feel good about yourself for doing so. Here, the put downs are constant and it's just not fun for me. If it was a drill sergeant and I was in training, sure, this attitude would not feel out of place. And the snarky remarks are just not funny.
If they ever fix this game's performance, binds, and make the dangerous (read: deadly) pixels more consistent, I would consider this on a sale.

Apart for the setting (aka the science facility and being spoken through the facility’s speakers by a Glados like antagonist) I can’t really compare it to Portal that much, in a matter of fact the puzzles remind me more of Talos Principle. So I would say it’s a mix of those 2.


So, in this game you have to navigate around shadows which damage and kill you, hence you gotta use the light. I didn’t found the puzzles to be that hard, they grow in difficulty ofc, but for me they kept at a medium-hardish level at most, bit easy but enjoyable.


I ain’t got much to say, the game its just good enough, if steam had ratting system I would give it a solid 7/10. I recommend for any enthusiast of fist-person puzzlers, BUT even I don’t think its worth the full price of 20$ for that price you can grab both Portals, or one of the Talos games during a sale, but if you can find it during a sale or bundle, its worth it.

Very good puzzle game with fun parkour. The level design is excellent and the story is interesting....but the game launcher is useless and actually bugs my windows 11 computer by adding a weird overlay that flickers even after the game has closed. Only way to get rid of it is too restart the PC. There were a couple of crashes but save points are pretty good so wasn't a big problem.
