SO this game is pretty interesting at first but in the third act the acting gets pretty bad and I got sick of the game.  Hazy is a good rating for this, has potential but falls a little short.

I don't know- the game is super uneven and the assets look like they came from a store and made independent of each other. Couldn't finish.

this game looks lifeless xD

 

anyway it just looks like another walking simulator, or is there some actual gameplay to this, beyond just walking around?

It's a horror based platformer.

haven't finished it yet, but

Spoiler

I get the feeling that this game is the type with the monster being the MC without him knowing it.

edit: Also, yeah, I don't like it.

I got it through another epic give away.

This game would be much better if it didn't have a narrator who spoils all the mystery.

I've played this one through.

 

Lifeless Planet does an alright job of developing a narrative through exploration, but by the time you get close to the end of the game it just starts getting unnecessarily weird and a little boring. The premise itself is fascinating and has a lot to offer, but unfortunately it feels like it just falls short.
