A game that struggles on keyboard but would excel and satisfy with a controller!
I'm not really sure why I started playing this game.

I begin travelling down the direction the game faced me at the start, with every step I move closer on the map provided to me, I hear a sound indicating I've moved forward, and the map tells me I've moved forward, but not much has changed. I began to pick up the pace. I come to a wall, and turn left, I move quickly down a rather familiar hallway. Suddenly, a large Bug-Eyed creature appears and claws away 2 of my 4 hearts.
