Solid jump scares. Interesting story. Even have some incentive to replay with multiple endings. Give it a play and enjoy the scares!1 found this helpful
Good jump scare game, just easy enough to follow, just vague enough to have to spend a minute looking for solutions. Very fun, good value for the price. GORGEOUS graphics.
Great game i think i creamed myself though 10/10
Not a bad game, it has its moments. I think its strengths are its story telling and atmosphere. It definately suffers from a pacing issue and puzzles being too simple and areas taking too long to clear. If you had a better payoff for an area the pacing might feel better but the story should proceed more quickly in my opinion. Not a bad game, but not a great game either.
the jump scares were not scary what so ever
might as well watch grass grow. this is the worst indie horror game i have ever played. by far. - the pacing is horrificly mind numbing - walk speed: snail - the story is so much not interesting that it's more cringe than horror - the narrator ruins the last bit of horror that could have come up - NOTHING happens in this game. it has like 2 jumpscares that are telegraphed so hard that it's again just cringe - it's more walking in cycles while listening to unnecessarily dramatic and unfitting "horror" background music than anything else honestly i wouldn't even play this if they paid me for it my poor 8 euros
