Small scale survival horror done right. I had high hopes for this and was not disappointed. I'm very impressed with the level of polish on this little game. Everything runs super smoothly and responsively. It gets quickly into the gameplay with that oh so familiar loop of gradually delving into a dangerous environment, collecting supplies and dodging or fighting off shadow monsters as you plan your routes and look at maps to get your bearings. The map, the UI, the movement - it all feels really good. The game works great on controller too, after a much appreciated early update. Combat is tense and the game does a great job of forcing snap decisions on the regular between fight and flight, never letting you feel too powerful. Enemy corpses can be burned away with limited craftable resources, secrets scattered throughout the mansion unlock both lore and upgrades - it all just flows really smoothly. Things it does differently are pretty up front - mostly the camera and visuals. Camera control is pretty straight forward and manually swung to the left or right, and that's it. It's nice and responsive. There are 2 control schemes for aiming, the default being manual (which works bett…

And yet ANOTHER survival horror game for 2025, and seemingly I am one of… maybe 3 people that have played it? But I was pretty instantly drawn in to the isometric pixel art inside a 3D environment (with a fully rotatable camera!) look, as well as the sleek UI. I am happy to report that the game fully delivers on a classic survival horror experience, though it’s a bit too meager to be one of the greats. It pretty much checks all of the boxes - limited inventory, strategic combat, puzzles, backtracking, a solid map, and a mysterious haunting story. There are not a ton of puzzles, but the ones that are here are creative and fun. Combat is a little janky, as managing the aiming with the camera controls (which kind of overlap) leads to occasional frustration. And while the 2.5D art style is done very well, the monochromatic color palette and somewhat repetitive interior design gets a bit stale. That said, for a 2 hour long survival horror experience, you can find a lot worse. It’s not one of the best this year but I definitely recommend picking this one up as a little palette cleanser. Looking forward to hopefully a more ambitious project from the dev next. Please go give this game s…

Gamebreaking bug. My character is frozen in place when I load up my save. Can go through inventory and files but cannot do anything else. 1.5 hours of my life and 10 bucks I'll never get back. This is the first time I've been a victim of a gambreaking bug like this and my first review. Awesome
