Yea, I encountered minor bugs here and there fortunately nothing major unlike some other players it seems have.The problem is the story. You wake up not sure where you are and go through to figure out what's going on. But when you start getting glimpses as the player it seems more and more like the protagonist in game is blowing it off and going with the flow instead of realizing what's going on (yes, i'm aware that there are some...aids... that help the people doing this whole thing to keep the protag in the dark, but it seems that on the onset there's no room for the protag to go "should I really be doing this?" after a certain point.)The ending is especially lackluster where the protag expands on the player's view of "really? This is it? I figured out the mystery and thiis is my reward?". I had a lot of trouble deciding weather or not I should recommend this. The game started out alright, it has a great atmosphere, some puzzles that are going to keep your mind occupied (or frustrated, depending how good you are at solving puzzles in general) and some backstory that keeps unfolding as you keep going. On my 1st play through I didn't have much issues, except for a couple weird glitches that ended up working on my favor. If you're not going for completing absolutely everything it can be finished rather quick. If you want to solve every one then you might run into a big headache with a couple of them (looking at you Criptex safe).It was on my 2nd play through (achievement run) where things started going downhill. One particular achievement seemed bugged and the only way to solve that was to reinstalling the game. Sure, it served me to finish the rest of them but that annoyance left a really bitter taste. The most annoying one was that you can't go into your Steam overlay to quickly reply to a message while you're zoomed in, sometimes it completely bugs the game out and you can't move, forcing you to restart. I kept forgetting about this bug a lot and restarting the game definitely kills the atmosphere or the mood to keep playing since it can reset if you were in the middle of a puzzle. You can be luckier than me and running into no bugs and might enjoy the game, if you're unlucky then you might be trapped in a buggy mess unable to move on unless you restart constantly and\/or restart the game. Even purchasing with a discount I think I would've rather not getting it had I know it was going to annoy me that much. So it's up to you of weather or not you want to give it a chance to try the story (IMO, it's interesting but not mindblowing).
