The game is absolutely terrible. First of all, this isn't a horror game. I usually get scared really easily, but I experienced no horror playing this game. The game states they want players to experience Nyctophobia, Taphophobia, and Ombrophobia, which is what caught my interest. I was hoping to see a different genre of a horror game that doesn't always have ghosts or killers. With that said, I don't know where I am suppose to experience any these phobias. Setting up a player in a dark mine with rainy environment is not "experiencing phobias". There is just nothing to fear about the mine. It's just dark and feels never ending. The only thing I was scared about was experiencing such terrible game design and horrible textures.There is a chance I might have not experience the horror in the game only because I stopped playing after about 30 min of gameplay, but it was too hard to sit through this game. I was more so excited about the Co-op part about this game, turns out only 1 player has to escape the mine, and the other player is just stuck looking at the map all day. Can't think of more boring Co-op experience than this. There is also not enough hint on the map to help the other player. There are multiple maps, and they just has some lines drew on them, it doesn't indicate anything else. So playing as the "rescuer", You don't know which map to start explaining first, nor how to lead them to the exit. It doesn't do anything other than to confuse players even more.The player also has limited stamina for some reason, so as you are running around the mine, you will be slowed for a duration of time until your stamina charges back up and you can start running again. First problem with this is you don't have any UI during actual gameplay, so I didn't even know there was stamina in the game, at first I thought I was being slowed because I was entering a cut-scene or something. Secondly, I don't even know why stamina exist in this game. You're basically running around the mine endlessly. You're not being chased by anything nor being timed. Even the 2nd player who's job is to read the map all day have stamina. I just don't see any reason for a stamina in the game other than to annoy players. (and I am only pointing this out because walking in this game is way to slow)I know this game is not finished. It's literally stated on their steam page description, which I was aware of. I played a lot of early access games that were unfinished. But in my opinion this game shouldn't even be released for early access. and I don't know who thought it was a good idea to sell this game for 20$?? The devs wants feedback? well here is mine, but I just CANNOT recommend anyone else to buy this game at it's current state. It's waste of your money which you can refund, but you can't refund your time back. Don't waste your time playing this game.. I don't believe this is a survival horror game. It was more of a help your friend get out of a dark random mine.. Looks and feels like a tech demo. Barely any gameplay mechanics. Not a horror game. No fun at all.. Love the concept, but this game isn't quite there yet. It needs some serious bug fixes (was constantly kicked from server and falling through the map) so much that I wasn't able to play long. I'm also not sure I would consider it horror, but it's possible I just didn't get to anything yet?I hope they continue to work on it but I would hold off on buying for now.
