Recommended Aug 23, 2026

This is such a good game, I really liked the files that are being kept, like some of them are kind of funny. I'm apparently, a really bad judge of which file should be sent to the public but I had a blast trying to figure out which one is good or not. I feel like there's an atmospheric horror then any really scary, sometimes things happen behind you and you're not really sure how it happened. I would definitely recommend this game to others.
