As seen in gameplay footage from last year, we have to navigate bulkheads, flooded passageways and very dark corridors with nothing but a screwdriver and a headlamp. The design of the interior of the Beria D is very impressively recreated – you can practically feel how cold it is when you walk through the station or put your hands on the wheel of an airlock, while the sound of the wind rushes towards you as you step out. This is a great contrast to the silence that reigns when all the hatches are tightly closed and every little sound echoes through the station.
The… let’s call it the terror here since we’ve been asked to avoid spoilers is… well… terrifying. I’ll leave it at that. As if that wasn’t enough, Caz at times enters a bizarre hallucinatory state that seems to be connected to the events around him, which is another mystery I’m keen to explore further to see how the story brings all of these events together.
