Graphically this game looks good. Game play wise, it needs a lot of help. One issue is that most of the time I did nothing but walk around and magically completed my assigned tasks. If your looking at buying this game, wait to see if more patches come out for it first as it may fix the many game play and story issues it has...

Cybernetic Fault is a compact, atmospheric adventure that delivers a memorable blend of dark humor, environmental storytelling, and logic-based puzzles. The game’s first-person exploration invites careful observation rather than fast reflexes, and its satirical, anti-science tone gives the narrative a distinct voice that stays with you. Set pieces are frequently elevated by a strong soundtrack and evocative level …

A uniquely satirical sci-fi adventure with sharp humor, great atmosphere, and rewarding logic puzzles. The gameplay is more walking-sim than action, and the graphics are deliberately low-fi, but its quirky charm and wit make it a surprisingly delightful indie gem.

An interesting game that will test our attention and reaction. All that is required of us is to explore the space complex and solve the assigned tasks in order to restore the functioning of electronics and instruments. Nice graphics and science theme will interest any player, as well as make him go through the game.

It's a fun game, but it's fast (literally 2.5 hours and it's done). I would also like to see several endings, more forks and dialogue options in the game in the future.

78% of the 202 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Cybernetic Fault. The complaint that keeps coming up: very short playtime (20 min to 2.5 hours). Deal-breaker or nitpick?

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Trash walking sim. I have no idea how this game got a review score that good. 100% takes around 20 minutes.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I know the term "asset flip" gets thrown around flagrantly just for a game that happens to use paid assets, but this is not a game that happens to use paid assets. It's a collection of paid assets in a very poorly coded environment. If it weren't for the age of this game I'd think the dialog was AI generated but I don't think that's possible. Machine translated yes but probably not AI. I have 77 minutes in the game. most of it was spent wandering around aimlessly trying to find something to…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →really unsure what to make of this, but severe anti-intellectual basement-dweller vibes.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I booted up Cybernetic Fault thinking, “Ooh, sci‑fi mystery, cool puzzles…” and ended up feeling like I was the test subject in someone’s cruel experiment. 💀 The puzzles are either too obvious or straight‑up nonsensical, and half the time I had no clue what the terminals even wanted from me. The story tries to be deep and mysterious, but it mostly just left me confused — I needed a flowchart and a PhD to keep track of what was happening. And don’t get me started on the pacing: it’s like the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →thrilling challenges and smooth gameplay make this cyberpank game highly recommended for its great atmosphere
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Feel like a superhero! Save... Well, save someone. Yourself, for example
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An extremely hackneyed project that tries into futurism and science fiction, but does not come out. They simply forgot to add anti-aliasing, there are ripples, but okay, this is a matter of taste, but the gameplay itself is boring and dull, as if if the developer had added a couple of more aspects and diluted with something non-trivial, it would have saved everything, but you, alas, I can't recommend it to you

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →just get it for another perfect game, super bad
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool as an idea, terrible as an execution. It is a puzzle game where you need to find the next prop to press left click on. Most of the time you cannot easily see what is going on and what you have to press, as the game uses the same props over and over again. As an example: One of the tasks of the game is "empty the liquid". You are put in a room with 8 identical liquid containers, all full. You need to interact with one of them. Nothing tells you "This is the correct one!", you need to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really liked the plot and idea of the game about scientific experiments. It's easy to play, with no lag, and the graphics are excellent.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →absolute waste of time and money. The game is terrible in every aspect: primitive graphics, weak storyline, uncomfortable controls. I don't recommend anyone to spend their precious time on it. Better pass by and choose something really worth attention. Awful!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A cool game set in a science center. The plot is interesting, and the puzzles are also
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm recommending this purely as a curiosity. The graphics are decent and the rover mechanics at the end are genuinely unique. However, it's a short walking sim with a confusing story and juvenile humor. You can finish it in 20 minutes. Only for achievement hunters or those fascinated by flawed, quirky games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Early access - Ok... Cyberpunk - I mean sorta? Sci-fi - Yeah, this is accurate 3D - This too Story Rich - Ummm....... Price- $24.99?!?!?!??! This game is great if you enjoy walking around simulators, the puzzles aren't really puzzles but more find the button sort of quests, the game is really short, the dialog is kinda funny in context, how these guys invented the tech they use is beyond me - but if you're looking for a cyberpunk gaming experience, this isn't it; It's possible to speedrun…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game has no freedom, in starting level you have to read a note before you can unlock the door. Also notice items and npc will spawn in front of you as soon as complete a task.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →absurd experiments and a soundtrack that perfectly complements the chaos
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The idea is interesting but the execution feels weak. The gameplay gets repetitive quickly and the humor didn't work for me. It feels more like a short experiment than a complete game and I lost interest after a while.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a good adventure game

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →honestly seems broken and wack, but somehow really interesting and I wanted to play it. idk if its just me but i cant handle the constant music haha how did yall do it?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cybernetic Fault presents itself as a surreal first-person journey through a malfunctioning research complex where science has spiraled into absurdity. At its foundation, the game tries to fuse light environmental storytelling, puzzle-driven progression, and an offbeat sense of humor centered around a hapless scientist caught in a collapsing experiment. The initial impression is one of intrigue: flickering corridors, distorted alarms, abandoned workstations, and an atmosphere that suggests…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A hilariously chaotic adventure that perfectly captures the charm of gloriously unhinged science
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →for such a price, it pleases to have at least a small plot of the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was hoping I'd like the game, but the fonts, the story, the graphics... it's bad and uninteresting, even for me, a person who likes to play all sorts of indie ♥♥♥♥
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is stupid and pointless, the graphics are terrible, and there is no storyline.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah, just no, not even on sale. Don't be fooled by the relatively decent looking graphics, it's not worth it. The story is nonsensical and disjointed, the humour is pretty juvenile and it's definitely too short. Once you know what the games wants you to be doing, you could literally speedrun the entire game in 5 minutes... The "difficulty" is entirely based on finding the next thing to click to advance to the next part. Not recommended, hard pass.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reading is for weaklings, my job is to poke everything and make my own experiments) It's a pity that the game is short, but they promised more content in the future (I hope it's true) Well... I'm waiting for an update and new opportunities for my madness. P.s. fix the sound
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an unusual sci-fi game. You end up in a mysterious space station and you don’t understand what’s going on. During the game you will understand different tasks. Can you complete all the tasks and understand what is really going on at this station? )
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely makes you think about whether it's worth replacing your hands with mechanical ones, at least for the convenience of gaming. Imagine a world where technology and people merge into a single cybernetic mass. Graphomania like "they're such cyborgs!" here reaches unprecedented heights. You have to take on the role of an antihero who is stuck in a bunch of mechanical problems and must save (or not save) the laboratory from the notes of a scientist. A walking simulator for mechanical…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like that they're trying new things: An FPS Adventure game is a great idea. But it suffers from the main problem of all the adventure games of old where you can't read the mind of the creator and if you get that mind it'll be EZ PZ adventure game time, and if not you'll find yourself frustrated wondering what the hell to do next. If you click with it it's a cool idea, but I got it for free and think there needs lots of polish before you pay money for it. Given they "released" the game…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the most horribile game that I have ever played. PLEASE DO NOT BUY IT !!!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What on earth was that entire game???.....other than ****
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought this for the immense sum of 50p in some sale and still feel cheated. This is mind-numbing garbage. It screams unfinished with barely a sound by the player character, a constant loop of music, awful dialog system (you essentially just click through messages on a NON-SCROLLING overlay), and an insufferably slow walking pace that makes you constantly hold the sprint button that numbs your pinkie in addition to your brain. Game spends zero effort to make you invested in its world or story.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Grabbed it on Autumn Sale. Pretty solid for a few nights!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a very strange game. In a good way though. It has simple mechanics. Basically a walking sim. I love the graphics. Very clean, crisp, and well done. The game is rather confusing and disjointed... But it kind of works for it. It has some humor and nods to other game etc. The translation to English is rough but it also kind of works. It plays REALLY well in VR using UEVR. Really brings the world to life. The extra immersion made the game a lot more enjoyable. It is a pretty short game. I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quirky and humorous game. Fun puzzles and a great soundtrack. Worth playing!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly such a trippy experience. Weird, surreal vibe and totally worth a playthrough
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cybernetic Fault is a game that makes you feel like a tiny cog inside a massive, beautifully broken machine. Every mistake becomes an adventure, and every decision leaves a digital scar on the world. The atmosphere is cold yet strangely captivating, filled with neon lights, metallic corridors, haunting music, and the constant feeling that something is watching you. I especially enjoyed the combination of fast-paced gameplay and clever puzzles, which keeps both your reflexes and your brain busy.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →graphics will work, animations will work, of course, not AAA projects for a small project, but it can be better

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun game with tight controls and a great flow. It grabs your attention fast and keeps you playing way longer than you planned.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome cyberpunk game! Cool neon graphics and fun puzzles.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Atmospheric cyberpunk with an exciting storyline where technology collides with humanity. Style and the world are on top.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, it's kind of like an early version of Mass Effect 2. The content is too basic; they could add some extra rooms or mechanics. Sure, it's okay overall for a single developer, but I'd polish it up a bit lol
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the tasks of the game is "empty the liquid". You are put in a room with 8 identical liquid containers, all full. You need to interact with one of them. Nothing tells you "This is the correct one!", you need to spam all of them until one shows you the UI where you have to move a slider.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting idea. Plays well, worth checking out.Good!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This seems like it was cobbled together, it's very easy to lose the ability to progress due to mechanics reliant on the player staying still to work. Aside from it being a completely boring and uninteresting follow the objective and left click game, The dialogue is really bad, and seems like a poor translation, or maybe even written by ai. Don't waste your money. It also seems a lot of the reviews being left on here are fake
