A pretty neat little horror experience that's absolutely worth a few bucks, in my opinion. The atmosphere is great. The mechanics are simple and clean and easy to understand. The audio is pretty decent overall and so are the visuals. Basically, you get exactly what you see in the trailer; no more, no less. If that's your thing, this will be a good time. You can beat it in an hour or so, but it's worth keeping around and doing a run every now and then for a little spooky experience. That all said, I'm very biased. I love what I call 'winter horror' and I don't feel there is enough of it. I also love anything that has to do with the wendigo. So, take that all as you will.4 found this helpful
