Apart from a few bugs here and there (which the team will probably fix soon anyways), the game overall is pretty good. Actually managed to scare me at one point. While only Chapter 1 has released so far, more will come in free updates, so the price is definitely worth it.

Thalamus is a horror puzzle game that has pure potential to become great but kinda falls short due to some flaws. The story of the game kinda feels way too vague and kinda confusing. the graphics are pretty good for a game this cheap. The puzzles are actually pretty good and fun to solve. Sometimes it was confusing to know where was I going but then I forgot to look at the diary and the diary actually tells you…

The game is slow, clumsy and boring to say enough. The controls are not very well resolved, the puzzles are tedious and the game does not look very good technically. In the promotional images it looks very good, but when playing it the lighting is terrible and the settings look and feel with zero charisma, like the setup for a Z series movie. I haven't been able to finish the game, due to how tedious and boring it…
