I agree.
There is something fishy with this game. There is absolutly no information about the dev/publisher.
They only have an utube channel and the 1st video was posted on May 2023.
The demo's performance is crap. I don't understand how this demo was advertised on the 1st page of SteamFest.
Because I'm a bored sick fuck I wanted to find more.

Thank you for the comment!
As mentioned above, we know about performance issues and will fix them as soon as possible!
Regarding the dismemberment of enemies and improved impact. Of course that would be great. But unfortunately now we do not have enough human resources for this. The game is far from AAA and will be sold significantly less than full price.
As was written above, the atmosphere will improve in detail. Thanks for the ideas!
Agreed about items, need to improve items interaction in future.
The developers is considering the feedback. P.S.: The game has just a one developer
This is just another delusional autist which believes that he will implement SS3 by force of will.
Basically the chances for this project to be finished or be at least decent are close to nil.
Case closed.

I also enjoyed the demo, but it is nothing like Stalker other than being set in a zone full of anomalies. It's a walking sim/crafting game with a chill yet uneasy vibe. Pretty slow paced too, definitely not for everyone. File it next to Chernobylite as another game inspired by Stalker but replacing Stalker's gameplay with your typical crafting stuff. The car is a nice twist but not sure it'll remaining engaging for a 15-20 hour playthrough (according to the devs). Still, a good job was done making the setting unique and atmospheric.

Yes, but for every Brigand Oaxaca or Cruelty Squad that exists there is a hundred barely functioning Redaxiums. It's best to bet on what you can see when it comes to indie games, and looking at Lonely Space all I see is a clunky & janky asset flip and that if you told me the lead dev was living in an Indian mudhut I would believe you. Of course I am always welcome to be proven wrong in these matters, if it ends up being good then I'll be happy to try it.

Hmm...? Maybe not an immersive sim...
Seems very linear. I didn't like that at first you smash the power source for the forcefield with a melee attack but later can't and have to shoot it instead.
The developer claims to have never played any System Shock game!

I'm so desperate for good immersive sims and old-school shooters that I give a lot of indie jank a pass, but this looks like one hell of an ugly, AI generated asset flip.

Just played some of the demo and you are 100% correct and probably even a little too generous in your assessment. I'd say it's the indie immersive sim version of The Day Before, except it doesn't make sense to be a cash grab because there's no cash to grab in the indie immersive sim market. That means it's someone's genuine project. Anyway I couldn't play very far because Unity stutter made it literally unplayable. But I did get far enough to enjoy some horrible AI voices reading hacky typo-riddled dialogues.
Was actually wrong on this one, although it's not an immersive sim. Very linear Doom 3 style game. Lots of jank but at least feels like it has a soul. From a reddit post I saw, looks like a solo dev project - guy has been working on in his free time for eight years. Final game will probably be very limited in scope (the demo was mostly walking down linear hallways), but something about it made me wish I could keep playing when the demo ended. Will probably check it out if it ever makes it to full release.

Survival horror immersive sim with an interesting sanity mechanic:
Just released a few days ago!
Here's a review:
I didn't watch the entire thing because I don't want spoilers.

Hmm... Dark Freeman of Black Mesa and City 17?
Looks cool! Though it's probably a long time before it's done.
