It looks fantastic but suffers from the Double Fine herky jerk (everything on 11)
The random grunts get OLD with a quickness. I LOATHE filthy stink creature human contact but no voices ..ever.
J-
Got some of the herky jerk on the steambox and on the nvidia powered laptop
P-
I’m the one with the calculator and I didn’t suffer from any of the herky-jerks XD
Doesn’t get the perfect score because of the sound effects and background music get a bit repetitious

Control
V-
Does not work with my Logitech Precision gamepad. This is NOT an engaging FPS. Would rather a sit back experience.
Camera points tits up after every, fkn, cutscene.
J-
Only really tried the keyboard. The control scheme is a bit weird at first, but you get used to it. Dinging it a chair for that
P-
Mouse and keyboard work perfectly
even on those few timed puzzles I ran into, the controls were responsive.
Didn’t have Venn’s issue with the cutscenes

V-
Sooo (cutscene) many (cutscene) hints (cutscene) tips (cutscene) and tricks.
Did I mention the cutscenes?

J-
There are a hell of a lot of cut scenes. So many cutscenes….
The game has a very interesting concept, I think its pretty cool, but I ain’t all that entertaining
P-
I love that it has multiple solutions for each of the puzzles
It’s one of the best looking Linux native games out there. (Until Crysis comes along)
does have a lot of cutscenes
and it has a “Hold my hand” mode when you push the Spacebar – lest you get lost.
