Ah yes, the horrors of being a woman, living by yourself and working alone at night. This game has some disturbing moments and especially the dreams/nightmares were visually unsettling and nicely done. But there's also much jankiness, character models moving around like ragdolls and some funny bugs. Personally, I think that's somewhat charming but if you're put off by such things, maybe skip this game. I had a good time (in terms of horror) at the motel and can recommend it, if you're fan of interesting indie titles.

The game is pretty good so far. The graphics are great. No real direction in the game though. I got confused a bit at first. It's a bit laggy as well. The story is pretty interesting but it doesn't get very deep. But overall not too bad. 8/10 on the pear scale.

The game is really janky at times, some bugs (nothing game breaking, just annoying or immersion breaking at worst), the cutscenes are goofy, but it's fine, the game was rather cheap since I bought it on a 40% discount sale but full price? It's not worth it. My biggest issue with the game is the voice acting, it's ok, often inconsistent, but the worst part is Emma, the protagonist, her voice is awful. She looks like a young Asian Woman but sounds kinad a black woman and that's the problem, she talks the most while having the worst voice/acting. Even her mother sounds younger than her, any female NPC for that matter, sound younger than her, despite all looking the same age or older. So yeah, it's an ok game, but buy it on a sale. It's not worth it's normal asking price, which is why I can't recommend it.
