Pure AI Slop Every bit of this was AI generated janky nonsense. The scariest part about this game was that some of these positive reviews might actually be sincere and not also bought and paid for AI bot-reviews

Very good indie horror game. Perfect for a cold winters night. Puzzles are good and I like how it mixes up the locations. The story is completely wild I have to say. I play a lot of indie horrors and the ending of this with all the twists and turns stands out bigtime. I was floored by how the story plays out and I plan on playing it again just to try and take it all in.

Not great. Several issues: Lack of options (invert mouse, windowed mode, selecting input instead of just accepting keyboard+mouse AND controller inputs). Then also having AI content. Hope they are able to implement changes and replace AI content. Will re-review then.

This clearly has AI generated artwork and written text in it, completely devaluing the game. Besides that, the dialogue is cringe-worthy and half the lines aren't voiced, making for inconsistent gameplay. Could be something great if actual effort was put into instead of AI. Disappointing to say the least. Liked the premise and would be interested in a finished product that doesn't use any generative AI.
