❤ Cooperative Gameplay Loop

Players take on two distinct roles - the Control Room Operator and the Repair Technician. The Control Room Operator has access to floor-wide diagnostics, security cameras, and door controls, while the Repair Technician must navigate the building, complete objectives, and evade the deadly presence lurking within. This division of responsibilities creates a strong need for effective communication and teamwork between the two players. Reviews consistently praise how the Control Room Operator must provide vital information and guidance to the Repair Technician, who in turn must execute the plans and instructions relayed by their partner. Players highlight the "tense but awesome moments" and the sense of achievement when they successfully complete a level through effective cooperation.

❤ Challenging yet Rewarding Progression

The gameplay mechanics start off relatively simple, but each level introduces new obstacles and mechanics that gradually increase the difficulty. Reviews mention the game becoming more complex, with the introduction of glitched objects and the need to triangulate the position of the threatening presence. However, this gradual difficulty ramp is seen as a positive, creating a sense of accomplishment as players overcome each new challenge. The option to swap roles between the Control Room Operator and Repair Technician, as well as partially randomized level layouts, add to the game's replayability and encourage multiple playthroughs.

❤ Immersive Atmosphere and Presentation

Players praise the game's visual style and audio design, with the pixel graphics and Lovecraftian-inspired atmosphere creating a tense and immersive experience. The unsettling ambient noises and the ominous presence's chase music are noted as particularly effective in building the game's suspenseful mood. The commitment to the "IT professional" premise and the in-game lore and world-building add depth and context to the cooperative horror gameplay.
