spent 9 minutes wandering through a poorly rendered beach with some flashlights surreptitiously pointed at blood splatter. than a dead shark. stars. end credit. garbage? i think so. avoid or be disappointed. this what you get: there's sand. some dead crabs. two blood splatters. a dead shark. some poorly rendered blink-and-you'll-miss-it crab-like-creature...and then...you see a beached shark. then the character POV is forced to look at the stars. then you fall next to the shark...and poof. end credits. oops just spoiled the whole game. p.s. i did not see ANYTHING that is shown in the screenshots. NONE OF IT. looks like a different game to me (i dont think it is misleading, i think i just explored the most boring part of the game? the empty bloody beach?)...nevertheless, if the scenes from the screenshots had been integrated into my less than 10 minute session it would have done nothing to improve my experience. nothing. this is one to avoid folks.

3/10 It's honestly kind of hard to form an opinion on this game because it's so short and not much happens. I can't say I recommend this one, especially considering it's not even free, as it's literally about ten minutes and, again, nothing happens. It had some solid ideas in there but ultimately is just kinda a jumble of random horror concepts with nothing particularly solid to grasp onto.

A short chill beach game relaxing with nice graphics. Fun to walk around and look around at the cool things. I beat the game in 14 minutes
