✦ AI summary
Players report significant frustration with the game's puzzle design, citing obscure clues hidden on walls and props without clear prompts, which leads to excessive backtracking and exploration rather than actual gameplay. While some players express strong enjoyment, common complaints focus on poor readability (particularly with number fonts), vague puzzle solutions, and the overall feeling that the game wastes time through tedious searching rather than engaging problem-solving.
idk why all the english reviews are positive. game just wastes your time. the solution to every puzzle is find writing on a random wall or prop, no e button prompt, just physically see it. spent probably like 30 of the 40 minutes I had this game open wandering around looking for puzzle answers, 5 messing with settings, 5 actually doing gameplay. gave up when I couldn't find what to do with the rotating baby arms. previous puzzle had awful font and I didn't even recognize them as numbers right away, could barely tell they were arabic numerals until a chat member pointed it out and got me to look harder at it.9 found this helpful

Foster: Ghost Child is a psychological horror experience developed and published by Lsgamedev that draws much of its appeal from Chinese folklore and supernatural traditions. Instead of placing players in a conventional haunted mansion or relying on relentless scares, the game focuses on an eerie investigation surrounding Liu Xi, a woman searching for answers about her missing parents. Her journey leads her to the isolated Yun Xiu Court, an abandoned casino and hotel hidden within the mountains, where the line between reality and the spirit world begins to blur. From the opening moments, the game establishes a melancholic and unsettling atmosphere, using recurring visions and cryptic imagery to create a lingering sense of dread. The strongest aspect of Foster: Ghost Child is undoubtedly its setting. Yun Xiu Court feels like a place with a troubled history, filled with forgotten hallways, ritual objects, and remnants of lives left behind. The game's descriptions emphasize Taoist and Buddhist influences, giving the supernatural encounters a distinct identity that separates it from many indie horror titles on Steam. Players who are familiar with East Asian horror films and folklore w…
