I recently completed all days in v0.7, so I've seen most of what there is to experience for now. This game still has a long way to go before it's finished, but even it's current rough state, it's one of the most immersive and effective horror games I've ever played. It's still very buggy, poorly optimized and due for a lot of changes before a full release, but the core gameplay that's here right now is great and very addictive. It takes its time, allowing you to build up a routine doing your menial, daily tasks before things really start to change and begin to delve into the alien and supernatural. The slow pace and repetitive main objectives may not be for everyone, but it's incredibly effective in making you fall into a set routine, only to mess with you down the road. There's already an incredible amount of content with a heavy emphasis on player freedom and exploration to uncover the games many secrets, some of which are best left unseen.
It's best to go into this game with as little knowledge of it as possible, and experience everything it throws at you blind. It might take a while, but I'm waiting in anticipation for the next update. I can't wait to follow how this game grows in the future now.

There's a really solid foundation here, but this game is held back by so many fundamental issues that keep it from being anything more than okay. It can be really fun to throw shit around with telekinesis for a while, but the combat eventually becomes really stale. Enemies are damage sponges and eventually you won't even be using your gun, just hurling shit at endless waves of the same repeated mobs, only shooting when your energy is on cooldown. The art design here is phenomenal, and implements live action in genius ways, but nearly every area you explore looks identical, and the in game models look incredibly uncanny, it's honestly hilarious every time it cuts from a live action scene to their in game model that looks like them made out of clay. The story has some really interesting concepts, but I was mostly just interested in the facility, Dr. Darling and the stuff with Alan Wake. The main plot involving Jesse, her brother and the hiss feels incredibly half baked, and ends as soon as it feels like it's really picking up.
The game really wasn't that bad, but it really started wearing me down by the end with it's repetitive gameplay. I only played this because I was interested in continuing Alan Wake and heard there was stuff relating to the story in this game, and I can't really say it was worth it in that regard, but if you're interested I think you should check it out. Despite it's flaws, there's still a lot of fun to be had here, for a while at least.

There's so much to do in this game and it's all so fun to do. The satisfying and varied gameplay is complemented by the consistently engaging story, and I had a way better time with this than I was expecting. I'm really excited to check out the earlier games in this series now.
