📖 THE STORY
You planned a quick getaway to Vegas to enjoy the Strip, a buffet, and maybe win some money. Unexpectedly, you hit a jackpot, and in a burst of light, your plans change. Instead of watching a show, you become the star of Project Zeta. You awaken in an alien place with unfamiliar technology and illuminated consoles, clearly meant to challenge you. This is your chance to show what a human can do. It's time to prove your worth in The Human Experiment.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The set design was incredibly immersive. As soon as we entered, we felt as if we had been transported onto an alien ship. The abundance of lights, buttons, and screens convinced us we were journeying through a distant galaxy.
The in-game character was really entertaining, providing assistance and adding both mystery and an unexpected twist at the end.
A particular part of the game caught us completely off guard, and we thoroughly enjoyed the "transportation" experience.
The puzzles required both storyline-based thinking and pure logic, but we especially enjoyed those that engaged our senses.
The space utilization within the room was excellent, making us feel like we had numerous areas to explore, and we truly lost track of our real-world surroundings.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
Certain parts of the game involved reading of supplemental story elements and clues, which might make it challenging for players to discern their next steps.
We recommend that verbal or visual clues remain on screen or repeat until the task is completed, as they can be easily missed, particularly in larger groups.
Some language was unclear in one of the later tests, and we felt that there were too many questions for this stage.
The finale could have been more impactful, as other special effects throughout the game were more impressive.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
Disclaimer: We beta-tested this game before its public release, so some issues mentioned in our review may have already been addressed by the creator, and your experience might differ from ours.
We've been eagerly anticipating the release of this game for so long, and the excitement of finally experiencing it, even as play testers before the public launch! If you're a fan of sci-fi, especially anything related to aliens, you must check out the set design. It's incredibly impressive, not just because of the space but also due to the hidden secrets within. The hallway puzzles are the closest to an escape room experience, with clever clues and challenges, while the rest felt like engaging tasks and tests, perhaps even reminiscent of video games. Everything perfectly aligns with the storyline and theme. We can't wait for everyone to dive in and share their experiences inside Project Zeta!
