This game is pretty awesome. Good story, horror feel, and gameplay. Since it's "mouse only" you can eat queso dip while you play which is pretty cool. 8.5/10 Good Price and Random Queso.

Interesting story. Although, in my lack of thinking skills, I am still piecing up why the events that lead to the game happened. Other than that, great tense moments, most of the jumpscares did get me
Not recommended Jun 28, 2026
Overall just not fun or particularly scary for me. Puzzles didn't feel satisfying to solve, the scares were cheap, but there is potential here. Not going past chapter 1 though, trying to navigate the house was infuriating.

A typical Tuesday for Sam: withdrawal in the morning, pills in the afternoon, bloody visions of severed hands in women's purses in the evening

The best part of this game was the 6'4 250lb 60 year old polish woman, everything else sucks. I paid .78 cents more than I should have
