Steam reviews

What players say

Short, atmospheric, free horror collection that most players enjoy for its unsettling mood, with unclear instructions and unclear endings as the main complaints.

Many players enjoy the eerie atmosphere, the dystopian industrial settings and the sound design, which build dread rather than rely on jump scares. Several praise puzzles that expect you to work out the mechanics yourself, and Carbon Steel and Tartarus Engine are named as favourites. The collection takes roughly an hour or two in total, and players call it good value for a free game. Common complaints are the lack of guidance, puzzles that are hard to follow or come down to guesswork, small interactive objects that are hard to find, and unclear endings in some stories. A few players cannot get past the menu because the game does not support widescreen resolutions. Recent reviews are more critical than the older helpful ones, with more reports of technical problems and mixed views on the puzzles.

Praised

  • Eerie atmosphere

    Players praise the dread-building mood, dystopian settings and sound design, which unsettle more than cheap jump scares do.

    Many players
  • Free and short

    Players call the collection good value: free, finishable in an hour or two, and easy to fit into one session.

    Many players
  • Puzzles left to you

    Players like that the games give few hints and expect you to work out the controls and mechanics on your own.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Unclear instructions

    Players say the games give too little explanation, so early runs often involve guessing what the controls and objects do.

    Many players
  • Confusing endings

    Players find the endings vague or hard to interpret, so the outcome of their choices stays unclear.

    Some players
  • Widescreen and display problems

    Players on widescreen monitors cannot see parts of the screen or select anything, and the game lacks resolution settings.

    A few players
Who it suits
Suits horror fans who like atmosphere, puzzles without hand-holding and short experiences they can finish in one sitting.
Who should skip it
Players who want guidance, clear storylines or jump scares, or who use widescreen monitors and may find the menu unplayable.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with more hours tend to be more critical of the instructions and endings, while those with about an hour praise the short format.
