Early on you get a can of protein powder. The description makes it seem like you'll be using it to wake someone up, or something to that effect. What do you use it for? Using it as an alternative for fingerprint dusting. Except the last person to use a terminal was a guy in a giant psuedo hazmat suit, and the second time you use the powder, it's on a ID card that can also apparently double as a fuse? There was no logic there what so ever.The last straw for me was to use a terminal to get a piece of information (room numbers), except for a few things about the terminal: 1. You used it once before for a completely different purpose, and the new purpose was not there before. 2. There was a reactor overload not 30 minutes before that logically would have fried it completely. 3. The terminal is literally labelled "Damaged Terminal", and the description describes it as barely functional. Why would I use a damaged terminal? WHy not logically label the information I needed elsewhere, like put the room number on the wall?The story itself barely makes sense, and barely ties into the original game except by theme alone. I found maybe one terminal that actually hinted at what really happened. The rest I had to gleam from the message boards.. Excellent game. Got me extremely excited for the upcoming Beautiful Desolation!. A really fun isometric point-and-click adventure game in a gritty sci-fi horror setting. The puzzles in this can be really hard to figure out, but thankfully there is a guide available to look at if you get stuck. This is set adjunct to the devs other game "STASIS" which I do look forward to playing in the future. This game is short, as it took me 2 hours to complete, but I felt satisfied with my experience with it, and enjoyed every moment with it.My only complaint that I could really point out, was the FMVs felt a little less quality compared to the rest of the game. Some of them were even just 2 seconds long, which is like why even bother?PROS:- Great atmosphere.- Great graphics.- Sound design is top notch.- Voice acting is good.- Good horror moments.- Nice and short.- Steam Achievements.- It's Free!CONS:- FMVs could have been a higher quality, a little longer.- Old School Point & Click tropes are present.- No Steam Trading Cards.. Cayne is a powerful adventure game. I would\u2019ve loved for it to be much longer, but it\u2019s free, so I won\u2019t complain - too much - about the length. The level of quality and effort put into this free title is outstanding, beyond what most other developers would do.. Obtuse and illogical puzzles, pixel hunting, lots of backtracking, terrible UI and repetitive sound effects and commentaries.This game showcases all of the bad gameplay mechanics the adventure game genre left behind years ago.. Cool old style point & click adventure. Like Stasis is a nice omage to the tipical horror games from the 90's with a lot of gore and violence. Good Dubbing and beautiful atmosphere. It's a bit short but hey, is free!. This game is Dead Space with Hillbillies. The beginning had me, I was excited to play this game, I was looking forward to something new, that is until I got to the first puzzle, that passed, I was glad it was over, and continued on, Until I was stopped by the second puzzle, and then the third, and fourth... I was already tired of playing this game, none of the puzzles make sense, not intuitively at least, logically sure, but at no point in time would you have thought "I'll combine A+B to get C and then solve the puzzle!" it had just become "let me click on each item individually and spam the combine button because there are no hints to combine item A with B to get C, etc... nothing flows and so you're stopped periodically trying to find out what stupid combination works.The character developement is lacking, the main character is annoying, overly self depreciative and it just makes me not care to see her live through this ordeal, the other chracters in the game added nothing but more drivel to skim through while you attempted to figure out what you needed to do next, find a password, a temperature setting etc... they're all so extreme in their shallow stupidity you don't really get a feeling like they were ever real, like they don't fit in this game. it'd be a streatch on how they even fit in the made up company of the game as "scary, deprave, psychotic, shallow." as they're meant to be.Finally the ending of it all, it was obvious from the beginning. If I wanted a M. Night Shyamalan ending I'd much rather watch his movies then play this game, because I at least know it's going to finish in about an hour and a half, and would much rather save the last 30 minutes doing something else.. I've had nightmares like this. I wish I was kidding. So that is the reason why I took my sweet time beating it.The graphics and their animation is great, the cinematics are phenominal, the story is a low-burn horror, the puzzles are interesting, and the other characters are sick and most deserved what they had coming. The voices are fine and certain sounds sent chills up my spine.I went in blind having never heard of Stasis, the previous title in this twisted little universe, before. When I see "horror point and click" I usually experience constant jumpscares and lots of pointless gore. This game has the bulk of its fear in the background, in the events that led up to the game, and in how quickly everything fell apart. Granted there is still some gore and a couple abrupt shocks but it works.The only real problem I have is that Hadley doesn't seem to connect the dots even with you reading every blasted thing and a lot of things that is said out loud in retrospect are hilarious in a sick and twisted way. Also Hadley is kind of slow... but that is perfectly understandable given her situation.I just hope the ending (which cut off) didn't make it a "shaggy dog" sort of story. Poor girl deserves better.In the end since this is a teaser for the developers' next game and a taste for those who never got around to playing their first, the length of the game and whatever its ending may imply is perfectly fine. Its free. Its better than many other free games on Steam. Go for it.. The quality of this free to play game is excelent. Although the game is short, I enjoyed it, the story was interesting, the mechanics werent tedious as they tend to be with similiar isometric games. The only negative thing would be the lack of clues or tips, because of that I had to backtrack a lot and backtracking allways sucks, other then that great little game. Great job devs.
