This game is an exercise in frustration.
The number of times I ran directly past the orb I was staring straight at because the movement mechanics are utterly jank is enough to lose a star on its own, and that is the tip of the iceberg.
Have a mechanic to find the orb somewhere in this pointless maze? Great. That mechanic also attracts the ghosts? Interesting difficulty.
Randomly decide to gag you to reduce the sensing radius to a tiny fraction of the useful range? WHY??!!
How about randomly picking a number between 1 and 3 for how many orbs it takes to free you and not giving you any indication of why or even how many that number is in a given level?
The game is already a walking simulation, and then they decide to make you hop? OH WAIT, you don't even get to hop until you've crawled to a wall and mashed F for 10 seconds?
Alright, you got through that, so now we're gonna make you bring 2 orbs together to escape, also you carry and drop the orb behind your back, so if you don't 100% nail the jank movement controls and kick the orb on the ground it will roll out of range to count as bringing them together.
I can enjoy decent porn through jank game mechanics, but this isn't porn, so it's just a jank game.
