Pretty unremarkable walking simulator.

Yet another horror game that thinks making it so you can barely see is a stylistic choice or it makes the environment scarier. The overly dark lighting combined with the film grain effect just makes this more annoying to interact with. One of the first tasks you have is collecting keys from a shed - the shed is pitch black and the keys are hard to see. You can turn the film grain effect off, but to do so you have to go back to the main menu as the options aren't accessible from the pause menu. The game will save at predetermined checkpoints that you can then continue from later. However, it doesn't inform you when you've reached a checkpoint so you just have to guess when you're safe to stop playing for a bit. On the screen to select a checkpoint, I legitimately had to scroll my mouse wheel 60+ times to go down one image. The game begins with you washing ashore on a beach. There is a god awful head bob effect that happens when you move, until you pickup the nearby walking stick. Considering only 36% of people have this achievement, I assume this effect was enough for people to call it quits. A better approach would've been having the effect last like 10 seconds and then go away. …

Awful character movement, boring story and puzzles that don't make sense.

Promising concept ruined by bad visuals, slow movement, hidden items and frustrating puzzles

It's been over 10 years since I played this. I don't remember much but must have liked it because I did 6 hours.
