    Me waking up after the transfer still at the bottom of the ocean:
    “Oh no… oh God… oh Jesus Christ”

    Me waking up on the Ark:
    “Wooohoo! Haha! Fuck yeah! Better luck next time, pal!”

    I just finished it. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy it too much. Maybe it's because I was already familiar with the discussed themes, but I found the philosophising surface-level, at times even cringeworthy (it didn't help that most of it was communicated through Simon, not the brightest guy in history). I would have preferred it if the writers focused on the more emotional consequences of the thing, rather than trying to make it about The Big Questions. The game also suffers mechanically, not only in the uninspired and badly justified horror sections (the whole WAU motif feels tacked on), but also with the puzzles, which often borrowed from the worst point and click type of games: not about logical thinking but more about tedious looking for hidden interactables.

    Overall cool idea, but bad implementation, relying mostly on shock value. I guess I just wasn't shocked.

    One of the most interesting concept I ever saw in games, honestly, and one of the scariest horrors for me.
    Maybe it explores these concepts on surface, but I find it genius how it's implemented into a horror game context and plays on different phobias
    Weell, maybe there are some typical walking sim stuff I don't like gameplay-wise, but storytelling saves it for me~
    Also audio work is top notch, doubles the creeps basically
    If you like psychological horrors, do yourself a favor, and don't read anything about this game to not get spoilers <3
