Benedict Fox certainly has interesting ideas with its mix of metroidvania exploration and escape-room style puzzles, however it needed a lot more work. The interesting 1920s Lovecraftian investigation setting is offset by clunky controls and movement, dreadful combat and poor player feedback almost as if there was no playtesting or QA. The performance is choppy and more worryingly the game is riddled with bugs - on multiple occasions I had a good hours worth of progress lost. A missed opportunity.
