I've been a fan of this artist for a couple of years now, and it's no surprise to me that art design is easily this project's best aspect. io manages to capture this nasty, industrial setting so well. The music is great as well, a mix of dark ambient and piano that fits the atmosphere perfectly.

The writing is kind of been-there-done-that if you've played basically any essential RPG Maker game, but I found the chemistry between Lera and Nika to be enjoyable regardless. I want to say I loved the slow build up into outright horror, but I do wish the game was more show and less tell. I didn't need the protagonist to stop and tell me that things were getting weird. I have eyes. Credit where it's due though, moments where rooms change slightly, and you are left to tell what's different were really eerie; I wish those moments were the rule and not the exception.

Pretty amateurish with a lot of first game hiccups, but as a free 30 minute experience, I'd say this is worth your time if you enjoy RPG Maker horror. I have a soft spot for these games personally, but the art design and atmosphere are still enough to warrant a playthrough. I really hope that this isn't their only game, because I'd love to see where they go from here.
