It's a really good game if you are looking for mild horror detective like games. Good graphics, jumpscares and atmosphere. I recommend! :)

Needs better optimization and better explanation of how the tools in game work. I was playing on a Steam Deck and some areas would hit 60 fps and others drop down to 15 fps. Graphics are okay F button doesn't work the flashlight but number 1 did just in case anyone has trouble with that. I'm not sure what the game is but if they fix optimization they might have something here. For now it's a no on steam deck but a good PC should be fine playing this. 5.5/10 with a soft recommend for those not on a Steam Deck.
