✦ AI summary

The Remains and The Residue is a budget-friendly psychological horror game with a compelling story and decent atmosphere that improves significantly once you push past its confusing opening puzzles. Players praise the engaging narrative, solid performance, and horror approach that avoids cheap jumpscares, though the early game's puzzle difficulty can be frustrating without guidance and may require external help to get through the initial hours.

The Remains and The Residue peaked my interest but 14 minutes in i was stuck and it annoyed me because i didnt understand the first TV puzzle. I eventually figured it out with help from a Twitch viewer. It was very hard for me though. But that was just before i got into the story. When i finally found a good guide i only referred to it around 1-2 times. After i got pass points that i thought were hard i finally enjoyed the game more. The start is a confusing 5/10 but the game as a whole is an 8/10 (Here's the guide if anyone needs it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lotAdoljHl8&t=1418s )

For two dollars this is a great little psychological horror PS1 style horror game that doesn't rely on jumpscares and gore.
