The puzzles are very good, but some are too difficult. The light-up-floor puzzle in the ventilation section is too large and I can imagine this frustrating many players who do not like memory puzzles.
I am currently stuck on the security shape puzzles, got the circle, need to do triangle and square.

There is some criticism to be had for the lack of sign posting. I did not see the door to the west rooms from the central area, it looks like a dead end and there were no interesting objects to draw me over there. The east rooms had the nuclear warning sign, which I walked up to for inspection and that opened up the doors. The other door ways need this.

The atmosphere with the music and puzzles is very Resident Evil style. I really like the irrigation puzzle, but it was slow moving around. The box/fire/path timing puzzle was not very good, it was just wait for the fire to go then push the box. Waiting is never fun.

Lying bear puzzle was nice, but it was a little too easy. Maybe 4 bears would be more enjoyable.

Thanks for your feedback, we're taking note of your remarks. :specs:
Yes, some puzzles are quite hard. You don't have to complete them all to finish the game though, 5 electronic "passes" (out of 8) are enough to open the final door.
