This game is awesome and let me tell you why!
First off, the synopsis of the game really does set the mood and the background/story for the game. You're probably just some normal person trying to make some money so that you can sustain yourself, and what better way to do it than to apply for a position that has you working in an abandoned Laboratory gathering data from the depths.
The mechanics are pretty simple and easy to learn once you get the hang of it, get this put it in here, press start, pull this lever, look at the screen, read, and deliver. Simple, it doesn't distract you from the overall premise of the game.
Assets and Atmosphere complement each other. The game feels like those grainy nostalgic point-and-click horror games, but in 3D and in first person! The music is not too distracting but does give that ominous grunge feeling providing a very unwelcoming and hazardous atmosphere.
Overall, I highly recommend this game to those that want an interactive experience in experimenting with unknown entities!
