The first pattern for the Glyph lock seems to be bugged. Tried several times, checked the walkthrough, tried the same procedure there several times - still doesn't work. Sad, the game was really good up to this point.

Thank you for this great experience! I don't understand why people keep complaining, you've been offered a 100% free and entertaining adventure, just enjoy it :D
Thanks again, I had a great time!
If you want to translate the game and need some help don't hesitate ;)

(This is me after I beat the game) Well that was fun I got pushed down a big hole, got annoyed by a lab, nearly drowned, cut a giant fly in half, nice day I had let's leave. The fly's are following.....well the world has ended as we know it, turn out the lights when you leave.

Ok, so electricity s on in some places, lamps are shining in the dark, but if my lamptorch isn t pointing at the lamp, then the darkness swallows the light coming from it... Seems legit

There is a bug at the laboratory where you cant open two doors at the same time... I managed to open to go through two but only with one open, which was only when I refreshed the game. Still a great game still playing through and looking for the teleporter ^.^

Plaese add the option to switch off the music without switching off the sound!
1. I like playing with sound, but the music gets a little bit annoying over time.
2. Listening to a bad quality record of a voice in a foreign language is hard enough without backgroundmusic. The bad quality is part of the atmosphere and that I'm not native english (like many other players probably too) can't be helped. But the music wasn't neccessary.
In some places I'd have liked to go back and look again for secrets, graphity and stuff. Especially after the ceiling caves in and I clicked like crazy to get out before the oxygen runs out. I just clicked one time to often and ran past the tag. I saw the tag while clicking but couldn't take the one step back to take a pic.

I'm also wondering why our protagonist cares so much about his friend's graffiti, especially after he discovers his fate. And how did he know that was Stinger? Why do the critters need human flesh? Who's maintaining the lab in its squeaky-clean state? Inquiring minds want to know!
'You' could ignore the graffiti afterwards, you wouldn't get as many points but you could...it wasn't forced upon you as the player to care about the graffiti ;-)
Maybe the shadowy thing that was following you throughout will change what happens next and save the world, maybe not. Remember this is only 'incident #1'

"What the hell was that fly-creature-thing?" I really hate when the protagonist in games like this is too stupid to put the very obvious clues together.

At the end
Me: Well, I guess I saved the day then *starts to walk away*.
Fly army explodes out the exit.
Me: God dangit.

I thought this game was actually pretty good, the timed parts frustrated me though. Overall a well-made game... i am looking forward to a sequel.

I Urbex all the time, although I do follow the quote, I infact take artifacts such as documents, tags, books, records, etc. Because they'll only be vandalized.

Point and click horror is fun genre and the game is a real visual treat. The environments are well made and everything looks great. The puzzles were simple and fun and the story was engaging enough to get me to read everything.
That said, the game really isn't very scary at all. Too many things break immersion, the worst example of this being when Secret Area! or Bonus Points! flash on the screen. If you're trying to scare people with your game you can't remind them they're playing a game. Having collectables numbered, a running score total, breaks for "chapters", and having a very linear path all break immersion. It 's also bad in the underwater section and you don't have the option of going backwards for air like a sane person only because "the game won't let me".
One more subtle thing that could have helped would be not having the creepy whispers on a timed loop. If it happens over and over in a timed loop, it's not scary, it's part of the background music.

"subtle" doesn't even get close to describing those things in the walls... Not the slightest thing visible there, it's pointless searching. Also, I agree with others that using click and drag in the first timed trial is impossible to figure out. Very frustrating! Had to use the walkthrough to finish it... so only 3/5

Very nice game, very atmospheric.
Also I like that the puzzles are somewhat intuitive(unlike classical out-of-box monkey island style puzzle, alhough I liked the series:)
Since the music/ambient seems to reflect the atmosphere or mood, I would like the music to suddenly change when you find your friend dead.
Since you are in shock I could last at least a few minutes.
Also maybe some heartbeat - adrenaline like sound would be cool.

There are only two good thing to say about this game: Nice graphics and in the beginning a glimpse of atmosphere that is soon destroyed by an incredibly crappy story that begins with the missile. From this moment on the game becomes increasingly ridiculous. So there are super-mega-secret scientists breeding giant ants while being protected by 13 ballistic missiles? Oh my goodness, I can´t stand the horror! And when it comes to the gameplay I absolutely agree with ikanlol and EPR 89, no need to repeat all of that. Back to the drawing board, guys!

Nice atmosphere. The story is extremely flat, though and the main threat in it is not really all that scary. Once I got through the first few chapters most of the horror was gone. But this also had to do with the puzzles, which are my main point of criticism. They are by no means ground-breaking. Most of them are your usual point-and-click puzzles, i.e. designed to slow you down and offer some challenge. They just don't feel like they really are part of the game world. It's an issue I have with many point-and-click adventures. But HOLY SHIT! Who told you that timed tasks without warning are a good idea? TIMED PIXEL HUNTING! IN THE DARK!! WITH NO HOTKEYS TO SWITCH BETWEEN ITEMS!!! Those parts of the game seem to be designed to frustrate the player. And then there are elements that are in no way hinted at visually that make up puzzles as well. Normally this would be a 3/5, but stuff like this this is unacceptable. Don't you have people test your games before you publish them? 2/5

Would love to see that kind of exploring game as an (episodic) 3D stealth/action adventure game. But it works quite well as a simple Myth-style point & click and obviously is much less effort to finish. :)

The graffiti element is what really dragged me into the game in the first place... as small as it was. I'm not a point/click type of guy but I loved this game. The 3D elements were very good, and I loved the story. It took me an hour and some change to finish the game, and I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't get everything on the first run of the game. As a person who doesn't like point/click type of games you should be proud that I'd give this a 4/5. Good luck on future projects.
