Critical reception
Doctor Who Magazine reviewer Matt Michael said that the audio was "excellent", describing it as having a "dark, haunting atmosphere", and praising its "astonishing" imagery.[1]
gollark: Basically, there's a complex minigame of placing the right coolers to get heat down enough, when really This Is Not How Reactors Work.
gollark: Yes, probably.
gollark: Hmm... I *can* just not bother and carpet-bomb all the mobs periodically...
gollark: How am I meant to light up this room, anyway...?
