Cool little horror game with no options except volume and no saves. That being said, the graphics and the visual and audio atmosphere are both amazing for such short horror game. The enclosed family story is intriguing, Has pretty good creepy moments, and 3 chapters to play through. At least it saves between the chapters. The game is relatively cheap and is worth playing through, and it features a total of 5 ednings. For me one of the best short horror games, so I definitely recommend it!

I gave it a fair shot… but the visuals just weren’t it for me. I get that it’s going for a specific aesthetic, but instead of immersive, it just made me dizzy. The flashlight is also way too intense, to the point where I couldn’t even see the action prompts at the start. After about five minutes, I tapped out.

An enjoyable little indie game! I quite liked the environment and monsters, although there were some minor things that could be improved (Some of the dialogue had spelling errors, and the flashlight tends to bleach out pictures and papers when you're at a readable distance from them.) The multiple endings were fun to find! I found the MC's impressive bible collection in his room quite humorous.
