This was a pretty average experience for me. The game works, the atmosphere is decent enough, and I didn't run into anything that completely ruined the experience. It does what it's trying to do and feels functional from start to finish, but there also wasn't much that really stood out or kept me thinking about it afterward. Dying or getting caught sends you all the way back to the beginning which got frustrating pretty quickly. It felt more annoying than scary and ended up slowing down the pacing for me. Other than that, I don't really have strong feelings about the game either way. I didn't hate it, but I didn't particularly enjoy it either. Overall, it's just one of those games that exists in the middle for me. Not something I'd actively recommend, but not something I'd tell people to avoid either.
Nope. Any game that makes you go all the way back to the beginning of the game if you get caught or killed automatically gets a thumbs down.
