Since the game is broken up into smaller, open level chunks rather than being one winding maze, you shouldn’t find yourself stumped on a puzzle for more than a few minutes, something I was very thankful for. I really liked the sense of isolation the game delivered, and you’re not completely alone as there’s a mysterious man on the other side of a walkie talkie you pick up early on in the tale.The core gameplay loop involves exploring different levels within the base looking for key items and piecing the story together through cryptic cutscenes and left behind notes. If only it pushed harder for a sense of dread and terror, or even simply provided more of a challenge, then we’d be talking about something that truly stands out as a thoughtful, engaging horror game.Conarium review code for PS4 provided by the publisherConarium is out now on PS4, PC, and Xbox One. It’s not particularly mind-blowing from a narrative perspective, but it is engrossing and satisfying. This does keep the storytelling flow going smoothly, but if you trust your audience to be able to read copious amounts of text, you can probably trust them to solve a slightly complex puzzle now and again,Remarkably then, even through disappointing attempts at horror and puzzling, Conarium is just about compelling enough to warrant seeing through to the end. There’s nothing truly bad about them, they just aren’t particularly inventive or challenging. When the locale changes into something more Lovecraftian over time, it loses a little of that, but the visual design remains strong nonetheless.When it comes to the more interactive side, the puzzles, in this case, Conarium feels like a bit of a letdown.
