Unashamedly linear and held up exclusively by painfully standard 2010s horror game mechanics, with a nice coat of yellow paint at every step, but it still manages to be quite an engaging 5 hour thrill ride. The great art direction, sound design, voice acting and small but tight plot really sell a specific experience of comradery and simple but strong relationships between everyday people that find themselves in a truly terrifying situation. The oil rig itself is also very accomplished, with convincing connected interiors that you get to re-explore multiple times.

Worth a shot for the right price, especially inside Game Pass.

I really want it, but $35 seems hard to justify for only 5 hours.

Yeah base price is a bit steep honestly, I'd recommend for 20 or less.
