A walking simulator in a very atmospheric snow storm. It's quiet slow and isn't really a horror game with action and combat system but feels more like Amnesia where you have to manage stamina and sanity. You're tasked with using the map and compass to find notes that tell the story and find locations of interest. Could be of interest to those who enjoy atmospheric walking simulators that is directed by your own will to investigate.2 found this helpful
Good game, a little repeatable and chaotic in orientation, but that's making it more realistic
i shat my pants
The good: - Great atmosphere. - Learn how to use a compass. - After finishing the game, can reload the last save. The bad: - Running on controller/keyboard gets exhausting.
meh
A beautiful walking simulator with a creepy atmosphere that keeps you curious from start to finish. Exploring the snowy mountains with only a map and compass feels immersive and the story inspired by the Dyatlov Pass mystery is genuinely intriguing. Great if you enjoy slow atmospheric horror.
