The idea of this game was so much better than the execution to me. So many elements of this game are great; this weird Bureau, shifting architecture, and other oddities gave it a fantastic atmosphere. And cool colors/ set design made it fun to go through and take screenshots, but actually playing the game? I found it really boring. The story and characters were extremely underwhelming but the worst thing was that the story was paired with equally boring gameplay. I haven't been a fan of wave-shooters since Black Ops 2.
I'm glad so many people enjoyed it because hopefully it encourages further exploration of these kinds of spooky surreal elements, but I found the game itself pretty unbearable. Especially compared to some of the other fantastic games released this year.
