Masterpiece. The scares are NOT for the faint hearted. However the games graphics are great, soundtrack is beautiful and the underlying themes and story make it very worthwhile. Excited to play the sequel.

We loved this game! We loved the the storyline and all of the exploring! The house’s vibe was so creepy! The jump scares were so good and we kept wanting to explore to find out more! We don’t have one bad thing to say about this game! - Jenn and Steph Gaming

Pros: Not an asset flip game. Good jumpscares. Creepy vibe. Mid: Some of the clues on the notes I understood right away. Some I had no idea. Cons: Had to watch a yootoob video after getting stuck trying to find the code for the door. Got the bad ending and clicked continue and the game took me back too far to bother trying to find the good ending so I just watched the video instead. (I really dislike games with multiple endings) The "bad" ending in the video (from the old version) was actually better than the bad ending in the "new" version in my opinion. Also, the graffiti on the walls in no way shape or form matches anything from the 1960's. It would have been better left out entirely. Rating: 7/10 and recommend you wait for a sale.

This is like an walking-investigation-puzzle mission you have to do at the old house, it looks decent (actually good for the devs 1st game), performance is weird (had few "fatal crashes" until i touched the settings). I can't figure out how to save the game for when/if is crashing again but i give up anyway after was read bunch of papers, had the scare jumps which are good, the atmosphere is good you get immersed in. I will look forward to buy & try other games from this dudes as well. Worth the price when is on sale.

I really enjoyed this game. I play a lot of horror games and I found this one to be creepier than most. Nice to have a horror game with an interesting little story to it. Some awesome jump scares and creepy moments too. It's not easy on times as it doesn't give you clear instructions on where to go, but with a bit of Sleuthing you can find your way through pretty easily. I did get stuck a couple of times, but worked it out in the end.
