I really wanted to like this game - I think it's built on a truly unique concept, and it's always nice to see a horror game that doesn't rely on jump scares. But there are just far too many systemic and stylistic problems with this title for me to recommend it without major caveats. The developers are clearly talented and passionate people, and I don't think this game flopped due to a lack of vision or chops. I'll attempt to break down the parts that I felt were missteps as best I can here. And who knows - if what I list doesn't bother you, this may be a perfect game for you.

Control and Feel -
The player character controls horrendously. The walking speed is absurdly slow, and this is one of those games where you have a 5 second sprint timer. And I am not exaggerating - it is around 5 seconds long. I know that developers commonly reduce walking speed and sprint ability to force the player to move through their spaces methodically. Particularly when the environments are as rich and detailed as the ones in this game are. But ultimately, restricting movement this much just results in pacing that feels languid and frustrating. If you feel that players are blazing through your environments too quickly to appreciate them, you need to rethink the structure of the environment - not how fast they are capable of moving.

This brings me to the next point: Environment -
The environmental detailing in this game is on par with some AAA titles. This makes sense, as I understand that the majority of the development team are artists. Several of the scenes in the building are incredibly dense and packed with details. The environments are probably the best part of this game. There are sections where it truly does feel like a "building with character." However, it also often falls into the pitfall that many AAA environments fall into - putting stuff places just to fill the space as much as possible. You might have noticed this in many other games - where despite a space being intricately detailed, your eyes just start to glaze over it and everything blends together. You can logically recognize that there is good composition going on, super high fidelity assets, lots of details, etc. But something just isn't clicking. When the placement of items and objects doesn't have purpose, it feels very game-y and forced. And in a game where your star character is the building, this does not work well at all.

Horror -
Calling this a horror game is a stretch. Yes, some horror tropes occur in it, but I did not feel an ounce of tension the entire time playing. I think this is due to multiple factors interacting with each other.
1. The enemies are incredibly tired tropes. Spooky crazy woman with no eyes and weeping angels. (There's one final big spider enemy, but it is entirely possible that you never even see the thing. IMO it looks a little silly, but that may be more of a personal thing.) They've been done sooooooo many times. And while I do think the model of the statue is cool, the sound design leaves a lot to be desired for both primary enemies.
2. The hiding/running gameplay is not balanced well. Hiding and running is a very tricky gameplay loop to get right - and it's been done so much that there's always titles out there that are gonna pull it off better than you (amnesia being the gold standard here.) But if your hiding mechanic verges on the absurd and frustrating, it takes the wind out of any ounce of tension you have. The ideal situation in a horror game is for the player to never die once. You want them to be constantly scared of dying, but not ever actually dying. The moment the player dies, death is an approachable concept for them and they're no longer scared of it. If you get into a loop of bullshittery, where you die milliseconds after you respawn multiple times, you have ruined the chances of tension being built up again for hours.
3. The writing/humor. This game wants to be funny and relatable. I don't think there's anything intrinsically wrong with that, but it doesn't gel well with this kind of horror. A quip or two is one thing, but all the characters are silly and over the top. The main character has the "omg did that just happen??" vibe the entire game, which makes me feel like I'm watching a Marvel movie. The writing and humor isn't bad per se, but it DEFINITELY melts the tension completely away. If the game took itself a tad more seriously, some of the scares might've paid off much better.

Story/Writing -
This is hard. I do not feel like the story made much logical sense (outside of the broad strokes that roughly mirror the King in Yellow originally.) I am open to the possibility that I missed some key pieces of the story, and that's why it's not clicking for me. I don't think this is the case, but it's certainly possible. Is it just that the main character is crazy? Or maybe that the King in Yellow just made everyone in the building crazy? Is it meant to be ambiguous or am I missing some key plot piece? What was going on with the suicide booth sub-plot - was that meant to be dark humor or was it relevant to the plot? Was the guy on the radio just weird or was he supposed to actually be made of cockroaches? There are so many plot points where it's hard to tell if it was supposed to be taken as silly and fun or completely dead serious.

Puzzles -
They're not very good. They're just extremely surface level and bland. You've seen them before in unity horror games from 2012. If finding a 4 digit code for a door or a safe through an arcane series of connect the dots or matching games is involved, you are not making a puzzle, you are making the back of a kid's restaurant menu. Placing a note in the corner of a room with the code written on it is not a puzzle - it is what I do in my apartment when I forget my apple password. Puzzles should feel naturally integrated into the environment, and like you're actually solving a problem. And if they're not natural feeling, they should be creative and ostentatious enough to actually spark interest. AKA, your puzzles should either go the Amnesia route or the Resident Evil route. Please no more ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ keypad puzzles, I'm begging you. Okay, rant over.

There definitely were positive aspects to the game. The voice acting was done very well for the most part. As mentioned before, the environmental detailing was incredible in many places. The character animations were excellent. The the sound design had a few very good moments. The writing had a few points where it shined with its characterizations and banter. There was some decent intrigue going on. But overall, I felt more frustrated and bored than interested for the majority of the experience. If you are expecting a horror game, I would look elsewhere. I would, however, watch this developer for the future - they definitely have a lot of potential for the future. I think if they work on making the experience more directed and cohesive, they could make something truly great.

Atmospheric horror experience in an apartment complex where the line between reality and madness blurs.

You play as a struggling sculptor. With crushing debt and a failing career, you're trapped in a decaying apartment building that's only a few steps away from falling apart. The halls are covered in spray paint, holes gape open in the walls, garbage piles up in corners, and the elevators and lights are all but dead. Complaints plaster the super’s door but there’s no effect.

But the real nightmare starts when the world around you begins to change. Strange, bright plants pulse unnaturally in the darkness, tangling itself with the fabric of your reality. Is this madness, a side effect of neglected medication, or something more?

The game sticks to a familiar first-person control scheme. You walk, sprint, crouch, and occasionally hold your breath to sneak past threats. And speaking of running, your character’s stamina matches his lazy lifestyle — a few steps into a sprint, and you’re already out of breath.

Interactions are handled via the left mouse button, with no fancy waypoint systems to hold your hand. Get close to an object, and if it's important, you’ll know. Your actions are context-sensitive, meaning you’ll mostly be opening doors, reading notes, or examining objects to gather fragments of the twisted world’s lore.

Inventory management is not present. If you have what you need, it’s used automatically upon interaction.
Puzzles are light, involving finding numeric codes for keypads. They're straightforward, with clues typically nearby. However, they can be quite a challenge because codes are not just thrown in your face. The true essence of the game lies in progression through the dilapidated building, where reality constantly shifts between its decayed state and something unnatural.

The terrors you face are twofold. First, there are the unsettling living statues. These silent stalkers only move when you turn away or distance yourself. They feel a bit underused because you only deal with them in a couple of section, but at least they don’t overstay their welcome.

Then there’s your murderous neighbor — a crazed woman whose blindness is compensated by a terrifyingly sharp sense of hearing. Avoiding her requires holding your breath and moving with caution, but the mechanic behind it is fair because you can get very close and still survive. Thankfully, autosaves keep frustration low by saving your progress right before these tense encounters.

The game manages to create a nice atmosphere. While the building’s layout isn’t exactly that interesting because you mostly move through empty staircases and corridors, it changes constantly between the real and other world.

For those who love scouring every nook and cranny, the game hides collectible comic books throughout the locations. However, there’s no tracker to help you keep tabs on your progress, so completionists will need to their eyes open.

Although you visit some locations several times, you often don’t get a second change with more unique locations. Missable achievements also add some incentive for a second playthrough — fortunately, the game’s brief runtime makes this less annoying.

Despite its interesting design, the game has one annoying issue with resolution that can cause performance problems right from the start. It significantly lowers the frame rates and makes selecting anything a chore. Switching between resolutions typically solves the problem, but returning to the main menu or Alt-Tabbing out of the game can trigger the glitch again. While the workaround is simple, it’s an annoying hiccup that resets each time you play the game.

Sneaking past the crazed neighbor where I have to restore the power to the jukebox to get through the fallen bookcase is incredibly frustrating and ruined the entire vibe. Tried many attempts even got the jukebox up but couldn't get any further. Her movements were random and she seemed to be attracted to everywhere I went. She is faster than I am and I can only hold my breath for so long and it appears to have a cool down so if she double backs an area I am in, which she frequently does, my guy stops holding his breath and she is instantly alerted to my location and kills me. It is a shame because I was enjoying the game all the way up to that point.
