Before I let my brain fully cool: This game impacted me. I went to four different runs with their own, gnarly conclusions and progressions. From a 12s bad fall out of the pod, to a grueling hour-long trek down 800M, I experienced several back-to-back true panics the likes of which early Project Zomboid couldn't pry out of me with thousands of zombies breaking down every single wall.
The amount of panic and empathy you feel in your last moments of someone who's sent to their death along possibly thousands legitimately made me tear up in the strangest of ways. And I'm a pretty composed person!
I have to let this game cool before I even pick it up again. But the passion for this project is truly palpable. Every triple-A title in the world couldn't evoke such a mixed bag of emotions out of me. This thing made me sick to my goddamn stomach and I can't wait to suffer once more.
