Yeah, I put it down from boredom at the gameplay, and the pretty visual design became stale quite quickly. I did eventually push far enough for the Ashtray Maze, and that redeemed most of it, since it proved they could do interesting things and the effect would have been lessened had they been doing more warping.
But it's kind of a weird game. I liked that it had actual characters, and they were good. But they treat Jesse sliding along the rails to Next Location and shooting a dozen possessed coworkers as though she was doing actually useful Director stuff. Metatextual "the director is the puppet-gun of the Board" blah blah. It reduces all this Lovecraftian Cosmic SCP Mystery to "shoot gun at problem, move boxes".
I honestly found it pretty thematically fitting to the SCP-with-the-serial-number-scratched-off setting that the crossdimensional wordsalad sound that turns you evil has the achilles heel of "having a forklift launched at it". Felt grounding.
