I am a bit of beginner when it comes to horror games, and this is a great beginner game. There is great build up, sound design is good enough, and you are always wondering what the heck is going on. I will say, there is a point where in my head it clicked that this game wasn't too scary, but instead just very dark (lighting wise) and dramatic. I had fun playing it, took me about an hour for the D ending, though I don't find myself interested in finding the other endings currently (may change later, but I am doubtful). It was a fun new low priced game, did run into any bugs, and did always wonder what was going to happen next. I don't regret playing the game, though if you are looking for the scariest game, this ain't it. If you want to see a walk through/game play footage, I did make a video: https://youtu.be/A-I26nuZ9mQ

This game has the tension building down pat. I did get annoyed a bit when it seemed like we were headed to one particular floor but instead went to another lol. I guess that was the point. It ran smoothly for the most part. The game isn't all that graphically intense tho. The game could've used some voice over work. It can definitely be beaten in one session. It also has replayability in the form of different endings. Gameplay Impressions: https://youtu.be/KpnrP2PigbE
