Honestly it's pretty neat, yall are just mean.
Being into old game hardware, the demo scene has always fascinated me as people over there always find ways to make even the most unassuming of hardware do some pretty unexpected and crazy tricks. The only thing was these demos were usually locked to homebrew enthusiasts, so seeing a demo from the scene on the official playstation store that you yourself can download onto your system and enjoy is really cool.
The thing itself is a 6 minute video about a dog that gets yote by the darkness, and everything is rendered in real time. Eventually the video will hit a wall and rewind, which will then allow you to interact with various parts of the video in real time in order to find out how to progress. The visual techniques are pretty cool, lots of particle effects, lighting, clouds, detailed fur, that kind of deal. Some scenes even render in full 1080p, which is incredibly rare for the system.
I can certainly understand the low review score for this as it for the most part is a video that's less than 10 minutes, which isn't very impressive when separated from the context of its release and it's technical showcasing. I def think it should have been free, as most tech demo games that get digital releases usually are, but this was made by a small team so they probably needed the money tbh. If you can appreciate what this demo is actually trying to do and showcase there's actually something pretty cool here.
