  • The concept is neat; I'm haunted by my past and killing or getting a teammate killed. As you travel down a dark path you are haunted by your thoughts and eventually can not escape your past, and trying to run is futile. However, the broken collision ruined the experience. You can run through the rocks and jump over the mountains. A few things might make this better; you should see some objective that you're moving towards towering over the valley... or perhaps just fog to obscure the path to play into the "we don't know where we're heading and are ultimately lost." The level jumps were confusing, and the jump-scare was underwhelming since I didn't know to run at first. Also, there's a crack in the mountains, so I didn't know if I should explore that and it was frustrating that this seemed pointless. If you have something like that then you need something there, some Easter egg or something. Helmets or something to help explain the story.
