If you enjoyed Half-Life; you'll enjoy this upgraded experience.

AppData\Local\Sycamore\Saved\Config\Windows - The only 2 files with data are engine.ini and UserGameSettings.ini - both have no mention of camera sensitivity.

If you set your sensitivity to 0, it is still way too high.
You also need to disable mouse smoothing to get rid of the acceleration which makes it feel like you are moving through water.


The game is currently unplayable because moving the mouse an inch causes spinning in circles at sensitivity 0.

Can't set to 4k resolution meaning fullscreen appears with a giant border around it. If you use borderless window and borderless gaming the game will randomly stop being fullscreen.

Can't adjust mouse sensitivity - camera speed at 1 does nothing, moving the mouse 1 inch results in spinning in circles.

The keyboard and mouse keys make no sense.

There are so many popups before you can get to the actual game. The last one after trying to skip all of the "you received meat" garbage was something about the game being discontinued???

You can't access the options during the game / battle so I couldn't adjust combat keys during the first battle.

Because this is unplayable due to camera speed and because I can't fullscreen it it will be refunded.


Update: I wanted to point out another bad design choice / issue with the game. When you first start it and get all of those annoying popups - the game does not automatically detect if you are using keyboard / mouse and it shows controller icons for accept / decline for various things. You can't left click any type of accept or decline button because those do not exist. Left click goes back or scrolls up and left click scrolls down.

I had to press escape to get the option to accept or decline. Not detecting keyboard / mouse or controller automatically is such a bad design choice especially when you can't access the menu without going through all of those popups first.

Not consolidating all of the "bonus items" received into a single popup is also a really bad design choice because clicking through all of that means you miss out on the game being discontinued or whatever it said popup all the way buried at the end.


There are really no graphics settings to speak of either. So it either works for you or it doesn't.

Incredibly janky and lacks polish.

Mouse Sensitivity 0%
Mouse Aim Sensitivity 0%

Move mouse 1 inch and I'm spinning in circles.

Doesn't feel like a $45 game.
So with the 1fps bug which occurs when opening up the Steam overlay, changing the resolution, buttons being unusable at times, low world quality textures even though everything is on ultra, weird ghosting effects on subtitles which occurs randomly, bad gunplay... this feels more in the $15 realm.

Relaxing your hands grabs your gun and medical device which is annoying. Trying to kill starter creatures with the pistol and they take 10 headshots. You don't get enough ammo and I've just had to do the tasks of charging the power switches while being clawed alive by them because I had no ammo.

The gun does not point naturally with the Valve Index. You have to tilt it more forward, and down, making it an incredibly awkward and painful position and puts a strain on your wrist.

Trying to grip both hands on the gun will more times than not actually swap the gun to the other hand even though I am still holding it in my right hand. Gripping from the bottom seems to work even though that is a TERRIBLE grip position.


So far, I am 1 hour in and I had to take a break because of motion issues. Can't adjust the turning speed when you change it to continuous ( and finding that option was difficult because I chose immersion at startup but it defaulted to snap turning which is incredibly disorienting and not immersive at all - seated position required ).


I can not figure out how to replace the gas mask filter - grabbing the chest does nothing - maybe I need to take the gas mask off so it is in my hand and then grab my chest?? I have no clue. There was nothing about that in the tutorial popups, but then again a few of the popups disappeared before I could read them.

I can't find an option to narrow the field of grabbing the gun and medical device on my hip and there is no visual representation of them on either side.


The backpack is awkward because it rotates easily in one direction but not the other making grabbing the charger difficult.



So far my experience has been meh.

I have decided to return the game. There is just too much jank to justify the price. Maybe if it was $10 or $15 on sale and the bugs were fixed, it could probably pull that. I would recommend steering clear for now.

A recent update added the Denuvo Virus. Now less than 1 FPS on 7800X3D, 64GB DDR5, 4GB NVME, 3080 TI.

Can't find any multiplayer option. There is a lot of jank and the controls page took the majority of the play-time. Doesn't use similar keybinds to other VR gun-games meaning more time has to be spent trying to adjust those. No seated mode available either. And jump, for right stick down is too sensitive.

One of the first games in a long time that I saw through to the end. Get it!

Even for $3.99 it doesn't seem worth it. It is incredibly janky.
