Gameplay
Gameplay
With the use of a sophisticated security system, the player helps the main character, Lea Nichols, by telling her where to go, turning lights on and off, opening doors, entering codes, controlling helper robots, and reading the torrent of files, email, and codes you are given. Only some emails contain helpful information, and only some cameras are useful. Some have fallen objects that obscure the view or are otherwise non-functional. The game keeps a log of real-world play time with Lea, noting how many days long you've kept her waiting since last playing.
Plot
Plot
The setting is a derelict ship stranded on a beach in the middle of the ocean. The anonymous player is mysteriously locked in the operations room with doctor Lea Nichols, the only survivor of said ship. The player first finds Lea Nichols through the camera lens when she wakes up from her room. After a brief introduction, she is reluctant to trust the player with valuable information (such as the login details to her computer account). However, since the player is the only person still alive beside her, she must rely on them for survival. During an exploration with Nichols on the ship, she finds the remains of her old colleagues and occasionally recollects some memory fragments of an experiment subject called "112".

Reception
EXperience112 was met with mixed or average reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. GamingShogun called the game a "very rewarding and challenging adventure/puzzle game which manages to create a hodgepodge of voyeurism, lateral thinking, and atmosphere that will surely give you the willies if played by yourself in a dark room". Brett Todd of GameSpot said that the title "overcomes its clichéd beginnings with original gameplay." Hyper said the "videogame postmodernism" style of voyeuristic play creates, "a truly bizarre feeling...rather than working against it, it contributes to its success."
