This game is hard as hell, but it also makes me hard too, so it cancels out.

Man, this game is MEAN. Like rotten spirited kind of mean. This literally happened to me just a few minutes ago:

- I ventured out from a save room and made A LOT of progress, which is by design in this game given how far and few between the save rooms are.
- I opened a door leading into a narrow hallway with another door at the end of it. To the left and right of said door were split paths.
- I made my way over to the door at the end of the hall and made the"mistake" of checking the split paths for enemies.
- BOOM. All of my progress lost because the devs decided to stick a trip mine onto the back of the wall to the right of the door, made to go off just as the player turned the corner. The cherry on top of that kick in the balls is that the door at the end of the hallway turned out to be a save room.

The above description sums up the game-play experience to this game. IT'S MEAN. What's most messed up about the above scenario is that the game conditions you to be careful, but then wants to punish you for it by engaging in games of 4D chess. Nearly EVERY enemy will be hiding in wait to ambush you, so you become conditioned to walk around slowly, methodically checking every blind corner and hiding spot that can feasibly exist. But then at some point, the game just decides to start throwing you curve balls, which are so unfairly placed that not even a psychic would see them coming.

We all have a natural expectation to believe that the developer is taking care of us to some degree, even if a game is really hard, but once you die to your first unfairly placed hidden trap, you'll quickly realize that a line has been crossed. The betrayal of trust that I felt when I made so much painstakingly careful progress, where my slow and methodical play-style had been taught to me by this game's very own trial by fire, only for the game to have the venomous audacity to rip it all away at the hands of a single unfairly placed trip mine, was one of the most profound slaps across the face that a game had ever dealt me. There was even a time where I spotted a trip mine in a tiny room, and just as I bent over in preparation to diffuse it, some random enemy that hadn't been present when I first walked into the room appeared out of nowhere to come corner f**k me (and it succeeded).
Know this before buying this game; the game-play loop consists of you wandering around in metaphorical darkness, trying your best to predict where the devs next slap in the face will be coming from.

To sum it up, this game is a slow dance of you vs the dev in a game of 4D chess. I'm convinced that the porn aspect of this game is included as a mere a coping mechanism to ease the pain of all the lost progress you're going to be experiencing. I have to admit though, I love the isolation, I love the nudity (thanks Steam Workshop), and I'm highly intrigued by the thrill of wondering around in the dark and seeing how many times I can catch the devs flying fist before it makes contact with my face. I realize that what I'm describing is basically akin to an abusive relationship, where your partner is a horrible person, but you stick around because you like the sex. Maybe I just enjoy punishment? I don't know, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't having a lot of fun, as toxic as this is. With great reluctance, I'll be hitting the thumbs up button and posting this now.

Good better with mods
