The atmosphere is fantastic, the visuals still hold up, and the house constantly changing around you keeps things interesting. There aren't any guns, combat, or monsters chasing you every five minutes—just pure psychological horror and a story that slowly pulls you in. Absolute cinema. Would give it 8/102 found this helpful
Hands down the best game I've ever played. A true masterpiece that I want to replay over and over again!
I don't remember when I bought this game, but it's not great. Play Silent Hill 2 instead.
Good, short horror game. Plenty of jumpscares, no tutorials or anything to guide you, explore and hope for the best!
One of the first horror games I played on Steam back in 2020 and honestly it scared the sh*t out of me.
Very good game, really fun to see the different paintings chosen by the devs and it’s overall a fun game to play with an interesting story!
