this is too harsh. The voice filter is harsh. Overall this is unsettling for heart. The tight space is harsh, the camera moving is harsh. I can't stand of the blinking beeps. If it's for the sake of the game, That figure doesn't need a head. Like that nob on top being there instead of the head, the nob could just not be there.

I really liked the audio and it being a 3d game. The gameplay maybe wasn't that interesting, but the ending left me curious. Good job!
