It's not bad. Genuinely seems like a lot more care went into this than some steam horror shovelware. The environments are well done and the frights are tastefully done. But it is super short. There is nothing really amounting to friction in this game and you will breeze through it in 20 minutes, so recommended on a deep sale only.

good scares and good plot twist at the end for how short it is but over all i would give it a 9/10

Unusable - crashes repeatedly on launch despite all attempts to fix. The best I can say is that during one such crash, it played quite nice birdsong sounds.

one of the biggest purchase regrets ive made on steam honestly. basic movement causes lag, especially trying to go up or down steps. story wasnt terrible but the constant lag pulls you out of the environment almost constantly. if you enjoy collecting keys, and wondering what the shape of the next key may be, this is the game for you...youll collect til your hearts content cuz almost everyone locks the insides of their home as far as i know
