We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want free movement, since I-26 cannot stand up until the time limit ends
- Players who prefer a low-pressure experience, as the game centers on repeated survival trials and becomes more difficult on higher floors
- Players looking for enemies described as human; the Entities are machines, including some that look like people
Our take on ISOLATE
I-26 cannot stand until the time limit ends, so cameras provide the main means of managing threats across four cellar zones.
What is ISOLATE?
In ISOLATE, I-26 enters a secret biological experiment for payment and must endure two weeks in a vast cellar.
The character cannot stand until a time limit expires, so survival depends largely on using cameras to manage Entities across four zones. Around 28 Entity types can attack or interfere in different ways, and some disrupt the cameras. Players must learn how to counter their attacks. Each floor also has an Extra Entity that supports the others’ assaults. Surviving a floor allows I-26 to ascend and face another trial; higher levels bring more Entities and increased difficulty. The story leaves questions about the nature of the Entities and the presence awaiting I-26 at the cellar’s highest level.
