✦ AI summary

Rental is a short walking simulator with cute aesthetics that divides players, with some finding it a charming brief experience while others criticize its lack of substance, nauseating camera work, and motion sickness-inducing gameplay. Common complaints include the minimal story and dialogue, lazy jump scares, and awkward camera controls that feel worse with controllers, though the game's brevity and free price point are appreciated by some. Most reviews suggest it's worth a brief try given that it costs nothing, but don't expect substantial gameplay or narrative depth.

Very short, boring and unimpressive waste of time with cute graphics. It doesn't has any lore and consists on a nauseating walking simulator with an aesthetic filter on top. The camera motion tries to be cinematographic and only makes the experience worse and once every 2 minutes the screen freezes on an attempt to make you scared while slenderman's fursona shows up in a lazy attempt of a jumpscare, besides that, the NPCs have two lines of dialogue at maximum. Pros: It's free.

a bit disappointed honestly :( the game seemed really cute, but aside from how short it is, it also turned into a motion sickness simulator for the maze part... i played with a controller and it was terrible, but even playing with my keyboard wasn't much better tbh </3 the camera controls themselves seems a bit weird with how the angles change constantly i think this could've been a really cute and nice game but oh well
