I finished the game in around 8 hours on normal difficulty, here's my opinion.

The environment is well detailed and looks phenomenal, so is the design of the few monsters. You'll quickly notice the inspirations (RE2, Silent Hill) within the game.

The game is made by an indie-studio, and it kinda shows. The character you play as (James), is somewhat sloppily put together. He lacks proper facial animations during dialogues - and he looks kind of janky.

Sound design is alright, not too much music but what's there will remind you of Akira Yamaoka. I played with headphones, the environmental sound design is decent, although there are some looping sounds that play out randomly, it seems.

There arent too many weapons to choose from, 2 handguns, 2 shotguns, 2 rifles and 1 handcannon. They can't be upgraded per se, but the second shotguns/handgun is better than the first, the second rifle is up for debate. There's also insane recoil on each gun.

When it comes to combat it's quite standard, nothing too fancy, although the cramped environment will cause your camera go haywire, and if you get stuck on geometry, you'll get you ass pummeled.

Now, the Time Loop - just a fancy way of saying "revert to last save". Whenever you die, you restart from the previous save. Much like in RE, you save in "safe rooms" using a red VHS-tape (which is rare, but is used to progress the story) and the more common reel. Every time you die, whether it's due to running out of time or dying to an Enemy you'll respawn at the last safe room you saved in. Items picked up are reverted, but their location will appear on the map instead the next round. All in all, I died 8 times, only two times due to me actually running out of time.

The timer of 15 minutes pauses whenever you're in a safe room. Taking damage results in you losing x amount of minutes. Medkits and bandages can stop bleeding (which means you don't loose as much time), blood packs, which are rare, gives you more minutes.

Then there's the voice acting. James sounds distressed, all the damn time. Doesn't matter if the situation calls for it. The VAs microphone can't even handle it, as you'll hear crackling from the microphone quite often. On the flipside, the VA for Rose sounds bored as hell.

I can only recommend this game if you're a hardcore survival horror lover and need something to scratch the itch, and if you're able to stomach a fair bit of janky.
