“I have made my way through the early access game as of 25-02-2026. Here are my thoughts Graphics: The game runs well and is nicely optimized, I saw no slowdowns during my playthrough and it loads quickly enough. There…”
“Performance is pretty bad but so far this game gets it. Most Lovecraftian games are walking sims but this one is a proper game, with emergent gameplay ( to a certain extent. deus ex boxes). It needs more time in the…”

“I'm going to be charitable and leave this game with a positive review and come back to it upon its release. So far it's a decent survival horror game with a Lovecraft theme but is a little jagged along the edges, which…”

“I played this game when it was still new and had no issues with it. but now every 30 minutes of gameplay my game crashes and says "fatal error" i have tried everything I can think of and looked online for help but…”
“The game could be interesting in version 1.0 if they make the right choices. The story is engaging, the atmosphere is good, and the survival mechanics are basic but they work. However, the combat system is really not…”
“It looks like the art and story might be great. The lag is... This game is unplayable for the moment where it has had no trouble with most larger similar games. I mean really really bad. Much worse then Stalker 2 even.…”

“What the hell, i tought this game was complete for some reason, as raw as it plays... Turns out the game isnt even finished yet? I think i saw this happen before, this is madness if history repeats.”
“I loved Both games of the Stygian universe. I am deeply disappointed that's an unfinished game. I truly hope it's not like the former one: Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones”

“It needs performance updates. The game glitches and stutters constantly to the point where it’s not fun to play. Once that improves then this game is an easy recommend.”
“Overall a very good game. I think this can be described as a RE-like game with a Lovecraftian twist, which I really love. Pros: Great astmosphere, the game is absolutely gorgeous Overall good level design. The team…”

“Can’t recommend it, at least in its current state. I played on HARD and had a terrible experience. It wasn’t fun and it didn’t feel challenging, it was just frustrating. I also tried other difficulties and ended up with…”

“It reminds me modern version of Call of Cthulhu. That being said, performance isn't best, but developers definitely have heart in right place with that game. Long road ahead of developers, it's worth a shot”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“Good, but not great. It’s a first-person horror game with some stealth and action elements. There’s crafting, and you can shape your character with a modest selection of skills and perks, which is a nice touch. The Lovecraftian atmosphere works to a certain degree, but in terms…”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“i like the concept but i guess the devs don't care about player feedback many things are still broken leaving a majority of players unable to beat the game. things that were reported during betas but were never fixed. So that being said don't buy this until a massive bug fix…”
