Great atmosphere, interesting puzzles, and amazing music.

Short and sweet. On a value level, probably not worth $5. But on a quality level, well worth every penny. The visuals are phenomenal, the sound design excellent, the overarching escape room puzzle a blast to figure out. And oh, the tension. Scariest game I've played all year so far! If you're willing to drop a fiver on an hour of peak, definitely check this out!
Not recommended Aug 22, 2026
Nope. Kept getting stuck and kept getting killed. No save option, you go all the way back to the start if you get caught. Had to watch a yootoob video to figure out how to finish the game. Thumbs down.

[h2]Pros:[/h2] [b]Great sound and atmosphere.[/b] Nice creepy vibe, perfect for a horror themed game. [b]Level design is well done.[/b] Items in the environment serve a purpose and help to move the story along. [b]Cheap.[/b] I got the game at full price of $6.99 and at the time of posting this there is currently a 40% off sale making it $4.19. [h2]Cons:[/h2] [b]Maddeningly short.[/b] I beat the game in like 20 mins and then spent around 30 more mins getting the rest of the achievements. [b]No save system.[/b] Which is by design as you’re meant to playthrough in a single session. [b]Low effort puzzles.[/b] All of the puzzles were simple and provided no real challenge. [b]Low stakes.[/b] If you make enough noise you get caught, but as the game is super short this is not a real setback, especially with the aforementioned simple puzzles. [h2]Overall:[/h2] Still a good buy for anyone looking for a quick little hidden horror gem at a reasonable price point. I look forward to seeing what else this developer can do. Amazing work especially as their first ever game.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.
