I wish I was kidding. So that is the reason why I took my sweet time beating it.The graphics and their animation is great, the cinematics are phenominal, the story is a low-burn horror, the puzzles are interesting, and the other characters are sick and most deserved what they had coming. The voices are fine and certain sounds sent chills up my spine.I went in blind having never heard of Stasis, the previous title in this twisted little universe, before. When I see "horror point and click" I usually experience constant jumpscares and lots of pointless gore. This game has the bulk of its fear in the background, in the events that led up to the game, and in how quickly everything fell apart. Granted there is still some gore and a couple abrupt shocks but it works.The only real problem I have is that Hadley doesn't seem to connect the dots even with you reading every blasted thing and a lot of things that is said out loud in retrospect are hilarious in a sick and twisted way. Also Hadley is kind of slow... but that is perfectly understandable given her situation.I just hope the ending (which cut off) didn't make it a "shaggy dog" sort of story. Poor girl deserves better.In the end since this is a teaser for the developers' next game and a taste for those who never got around to playing their first, the length of the game and whatever its ending may imply is perfectly fine. Its free. Its better than many other free games on Steam. Go for it.. It's free so it won't cost you anything to try it. But - regardless of the price - it's a thumbs down from me wheras STATIS got a thumbs up.The story is barely coherent. Actually, it may not be coherent at all. There's a chick, she's preggers and....stuff happens. Much of the stuff isn't really relevant. The grotesqueries are over the top, there's a lot of screaming, everyone is insane and there's very little to care. I had to search the forums to piece together the story. I don't mind some ambiguousness in a story but when half of it ventures into "WTF" territory then there's something wrong with the way it's told. Furthermore, the puzzles were fairly stupid. Like (hey, spoilers ahead!!!) usinga broken scapel on a can of food so you can smear grease on a terminal to figure out which buttons people have pushed. Huh? There's ton of ash around you from buring fires and you want to use grease from food? Another has you accessing a terminal that's labeled broken yet it not only works it contains completely different information than before. Thus you're almost going to have to look at videos or read the walkthrough because the puzzles aren't logical.So what we have is a poorly told story combined with unintuitive puzzles in a world where everyone besides the main character is crazy. The only thing that this story has going for it is mood. Like STATIS it captures the feel of the original Aliens movie quite well. And it worked fine. No bugs encountered in two hours. Still, I can't help but feel that playing this was a waste of my time.. This game is for free, probably to drag attention towards the next big project that has been released on Kickstarter. While I think this is a clever idea and a good way to give a taste of what their games feel like, unfortunately the taste I got from Cayne was disappointing. On a first glimpse, it looks like a game with a very specific aesthetic and atmosphere, which personally I find very appealing. It makes you feel like you're about to dive into a small chunk of a big, immersive world. You realize it's not as wonderful as it feels once you get stuck on the first puzzle.If you like to proceed by trying to randomly combine everything with everything, then you'll get your treat. I prefer intuitive puzzles that have some logic, puzzles that make you feel satisfied when you figured it out yourself and not because you were lucky to click the right stuff in the right place. Unfortunately, Cayne disappoints on that aspect. And there isn't much left to this game that can make up for it.Voice acting seems to be good, but the main protagonist is obnoxious and just not pleasant to listen. The language used in general feels like taken out of urban dictionary (I understand it was supposed to bring out the personality for some of the characters, but for me it was immersion breaking). Gameplay feels sluggish, you spend most of your time trying to get from point A to point B. And the story itself, well, you can figure out the whole twist pretty much in the first half of the game (providing you didn't quit frustrated with the puzzles).Appealing aesthetic and atmosphere was what lured me in and I don't regret playing it if just for this sole reason. But it is not enough to recommend it :(.. Cayne is a powerful adventure game. I would\u2019ve loved for it to be much longer, but it\u2019s free, so I won\u2019t complain - too much - about the length. The level of quality and effort put into this free title is outstanding, beyond what most other developers would do.. Ability to play the game with good visuals and story without any paywalls? Check.Not only should one get this game, but one should support the developers for good practices!. Very cryptic, But good game.Gameplay and mechanics remind me of Fallout 1\/2 and it's even has a 90's vibe feeling to it which is great.It's free, Try it.. More of STASIS, same atmopshere and same character styles (everyone is insane).What really made it hard for me to enjoy this game was that the puzzles had no direction to them. Early on you get a can of protein powder. The description makes it seem like you'll be using it to wake someone up, or something to that effect. What do you use it for? Using it as an alternative for fingerprint dusting. Except the last person to use a terminal was a guy in a giant psuedo hazmat suit, and the second time you use the powder, it's on a ID card that can also apparently double as a fuse? There was no logic there what so ever.The last straw for me was to use a terminal to get a piece of information (room numbers), except for a few things about the terminal: 1. You used it once before for a completely different purpose, and the new purpose was not there before. 2. There was a reactor overload not 30 minutes before that logically would have fried it completely. 3. The terminal is literally labelled "Damaged Terminal", and the description describes it as barely functional. Why would I use a damaged terminal? WHy not logically label the information I needed elsewhere, like put the room number on the wall?The story itself barely makes sense, and barely ties into the original game except by theme alone. I found maybe one terminal that actually hinted at what really happened. The rest I had to gleam from the message boards.. Obtuse and illogical puzzles, pixel hunting, lots of backtracking, terrible UI and repetitive sound effects and commentaries.This game showcases all of the bad gameplay mechanics the adventure game genre left behind years ago.
