Limbo ve Little Nightmares karışımı tarzı korkudan ziyade daha çok gerilim içeren bir platform oyunu. Oyunun lore'u aşırı büyük ve detaylı ilk önce oyunu oynamanızı ardından gidip lore'u okumanızı öneririm çünkü Limbo'da olduğu gibi oyunu bitirdikten sonra "ee neydi şimdi bu oynadığım şeyin konusu" diye kala kalıyorsunuz. Mekanikleri çok basit lakin Limbo'dan biraz daha detaylıydı. Bi ara beleşe mi ya da çok ucuza mı ne dağıtılıyordu o ara almıştım bende kütüphanemin tozlu raflarında duruyordu, oynayayım dedim ve gayet güzel ama bir o kadar da oynarken konusunu anlayamadığım bir oyunla karşılaştım. Gayet iyiydi, böyle bir kaç saatlik bir deneyim istiyorsanız kesinlikle deneyin derim.

Run, run, run. Oh damn, dogs! Try to run (there is no run). Escape from the dogs, keep "run walking"? More run walking. Wow, look at these half-mermaid, half the girl from "The Ring." Damn, this thing is scary. Swim, swim, try to swim faster (well, you can't). Swim more. Reach an upside-down water experiment thing? Run, swim, run, swim. Damn, look at this sperm monster homunculus thing. Wait, what? I became a part of that thing? Wait, I can control that, damn. Well, terror as a sperm monster: roll, walk, swim, roll, walk, swim. Be captured and escape somehow. Escape the facility, die while rolling off the cliff, try to figure out if you actually died or just went to sleep. Figure out that you actually died. Wait, wait, wait—oh, credits? Wait, what? I started as a child and died as a sperm monster from Monsters Inc? Well, alright, what a waste of time... In the end, this game seemed like a father’s story that always starts with, “When I was your age, I went to school...” Want to play this game? Well, try listening to your father describe how he went to school and see if you can last until the end of the story... What? Wait... You can? Well, um... I think you need to check this out.

(WARNING SPOILER) The theory of what goes on behind the secret coded door under the Cornfield. I explain to you:

Everyone is saying that The Blob is controlling the boy, but in all actuality, its controlling YOU the player. By giving you the simple task of constantly moving forward and solving any problem you come across. It lures you into a false sense of progression. The Boy is controlled by you, doing anything you command by the press of a button. While The Blob controls you, the player, by making you think that the boy is deciding to solve the problems himself. Ultimately leading to you being absorbed by the blob, and forced to help it break free. The Boy has no descicion or control over what he does, since you are the one already occupying that role. The Boy is being used as a placeholder so the blob can get a hold of you and the way you think. You never understood why you kept moving onward, but you kept doing it. When you inevitably got absorbed I to the blob, you just kept storming through the facility with no question. Brainlessly partaking and completing tasks without even trying to understand why your doing them is a prime example of the games main focus. Control, and brainwashing. Right from the start of the game the blob already has control over you. And overtime you get brainwashed into a habit of solving problems and constantly moving right. Completing the "Normal Ending" means that you are no different than the Grey Zombie-Like figures marching through out the game. Living with no purpose, only existing to complete another entities orders. When you control the boy to unplug the heavily wired console. He kneels down like one of the Gray folk when they aren't being controlled. That's because without the player. He is nothing. He isn't a character of his own. He doesn't make decisions. He doesn't even live. He only exists to serve as the players protagonist. And obey every command given to him. So when you make him unplug the console. He disconnects from the player permanently. And without any player to control him, he's just and empty shell, a husk. Left to rot. And without a player to control The Boy. The Blob is forced to suffer inside the facility.
In other words. The Boy isn't anyone, in fact. YOU, are The Boy. The descicions you make can either lead to you being used as a slave. Or defying your oppressor by forfeiting your own freedom.
