Very fun, very short, very simple psychological horror game inspired by Silent Hill. I think this one is special in a way. Everything about this game is so plain and simple, yet it's still very good. I think puzzles in this game have to be some of my most favorite ones in the genre. They are all creative, but they are not too hard, they all require minimal brain power to solve, and they're all very fun, icl. The game has minimal soundtrack, so most of what you'll hear are sounds of emptiness, with occasional wind and the sound of someone opening a door which really empowers this game's atmosphere. The story I'd say is the best part of the game, it's very interesting and it leaves some things blank, but you can easily fill those blanks out by piecing some things together. There are 2 chapters to play through, but despite that, the game is very short which is fine. I'd honestly say this title is very good for even a younger audience as there's no gore, and everything is very simple here, so it can be a great introduction to psychological horror games for children as well as anyone starting out their journey with horror in general.

This game really does remind me of old classic style PS1 or PS2 games. No upgrade system or experience points or over complex collection gathering. Just a simple, "cozy" horror game to bring back that old nostalgia and fun that comes with it. I couldn't ask for anything more.

A really great game to kick off cooler weather and upcoming Halloween season. Lots of puzzles that aren't too hard but still gratifying when completed (you might want to even bust out some pen and paper for a few of them), great sound design/voice acting, overall cool retro aesthetic and spooky vibe. The game runs great, and I am very pleased that it offers ultrawide support. It's nice that they added some sliders to adjust the camera wobble, which might make some people motion sick. Although not super long, I don't mind supporting indie artists like this who really seem to care about their craft. 8/10
