Amazing game, just wish I learned about it sooner! If you don't want all the Achivments then you can finish it in about 5-6 hours, which is just the right amount of time.

If you like horror, you need to play this game. Great story, characters, puzzles and gameplay. Relatively short, but not at all a detriment.

As Vivian says, "Perfect." TL;DR: Cozy horror done right. I honestly didn't expect much from this tiny, little game, but it blew me away. It's pretty much perfect in every way it intends. It's the perfect amount of scary, it's the perfect amount of cozy, and it's perfect in the gameplay it provides. The mechanics had me, everything felt centered and real in how things interacted. While the the creepiness of the environment kept me properly scared -- those little demon eyes might haunt me -- it was never too much to make me turn away. Most of all! Without saying too much, there was a point where I thought I was done, ready to leave my positive review... and then the game told me, "no, there's more, and better." I know it was a smaller dev team, so just know they did their jobs perfectly. Thank you, Bryan and Crista, for making my (and hopefully ours, if I can get my wife to play) Halloween a good one! My only negative would be the graphic settings, the shaking and such with lo-fi aesthetic made me feel... not great. BUT! You can turn that off easily in the settings.

Beat the game a long while ago before the game got picked up by the new publisher and loved it then. Glad I decided to pick it up again for another playthrough only to find there's a new route with the other girl, and i'm happy to say it's also pretty damn good. Perfect for those who want a little lighter horror game that's really well paced, looks great, good voice acting, and good atmosphere. Runs great on Steam Deck.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
