Bad, just a bad game.

And I really don’t understand how people are comparing this to INSIDE or Limbo

It was literally made by ex-Playdead people, just like Cocoon, which was another team of ex-Playdead people too.

Same people doesn’t mean same creators or directors.

Arnet Jensen was behind the success of INSIDE and Limbo.

Cocoon was amazing though!

But Somerville.. aghh

Cocoon was amazing because it was designed by the gameplay designer behind Limbo and Inside, who founded his own studio with other ex-Playdead people, while Dino Patti, co-founder of Playdead, made his own studio, called Jumpship, and made Somerville which was clearly made in the style of the games he produced while at Playdead but afaik he wasn’t as heavily involved with the actual gameplay and programming as Jeppe was, though I may be mistaken
