Walking is both too slow to move between rooms at the desired speed and too fast to hit the right book in the library. Walking could be made slower and running could be added. The camera goes out of limits very easily.
The interaction points are not obvious and sometimes you have to brute-force the interaction button on everything at all. But that's partly the intent.
It's annoying that the doors always close behind you and in 99% of cases you go to irreversible doom.
After passing, already even knowing that Luna says amulet I why I hear hands. Actually I was trying to find the hands of the main anthropophilic...
But all the rest of it is good! Fabulous intro. Absurd deaths on the first three times are more amusing than annoying. The vivaciously reactive bugaboo-narrator. Gorgeous reprisal of that bugaboo. The central puzzle initially seems fucking unresolvable, but eventually solves itself. Which is very, very good.
I would even say that there is a big field for experiments, but in the end throwing a bottle leads to something only in the basement, and only the bugaboo-narrator reacts to the knife. But there's a philosophical question about the path and the goal. Is the point of interaction to bring results or to want to throw bottles and knives at everything?
The visuals are cracking, but in a funny way. It's unified. In the spirit of the game.
With the exception of the bugaboo-narrator, Princess Luna and the casting sounds, there seems to be no other sounds in the game. Which I realized only when I was writing this review.
The proposed assets are integrated harmoniously and in sufficient quantity.
Verdict
Good
On the surface, the game is not seriously funny, but if you think about it, it's Hard Reset as it is. Overall, it's an emotional swing from lol-kek to depraved at the realization of what's going on. From hope that there's a way out of the loop to uncertainty to the open ending (Lyra waking up in the loop, even after getting out of it - is it just the developer did not have time to finish the ending or is it still the original intent?)
