Pros
Pro Takes a popular concept and blends it with survival games
Much like the movies The Hunger Games or Battle Royale (and a lesser extent Running Man), this game blends survival gameplay in with a game-show aspect of last man standing. While not new ideas in and of themselves, this is the first game to really capitalize on a current popular trend of similar movies and books.
Pro Unparalleled creepy yet intoxicating atmosphere
This game's world is colorless and soundless, which makes the bright player character really stand out. Occasional sound cues add to the tense and creepy atmosphere.
Pro Remarkable storytelling via environmental navigation
The story is told through exploring and there is no written exposition or dialogue, so the story is left up to the player's interpretation.
Cons
Con Humor repeats itself too much
The bit of humor the game offers is a bit broad and is repeated too much, meaning that it is easy to get bored or tired of it pretty quick.
Con Very short
Only from 2 to 3 hours long.
