It'd be alright to pick up on sale - I'd give it a 3/5.

TLDR - Lots of ideas, very few followed up, but a decent short game if picked up on sale with 2-3 hours story.

Pros -
+This game feels like it has a lot of inspiration from the System Shock series as far as way of story telling and interactions.
+Lots of different voice actors for the journals.
+Moderately interesting story.
+Beginning area is very interactive.

Cons
-There's a lot of ideas here but many instances where you only use a mechanic once or twice.
-There seems like a decision impact based on how you reply but when you get to the end, that doesn't seem to affect anything.
-Voice acting often falls flat (but some are good).
-Ending seems very rushed. Big buildup about 'what I'll do when I get back' and it is not even summarized in splash screens at the end describing various endings.
-Final half is nowhere near as interactive as the first half.
*edit* -Forgot to add there's some weird collision issues and at least one wall you can just walk through to your death.

I'd like to see a version of this or another game like it more fully flushed out from this dev. There's decent bones here but it kind of feels like a showcase for a resume where you show you have all these ideas, but never really follow them all through to the end.
