Whilst the game undoubtedly excels in creating a convincing horror atmosphere, it falls flat in just about every other facet. There's no dialogue, the visuals although refreshingly stylised are janky, the puzzles are simple, and the whole thing's just mechanically lacklustre overall. The camera controls leave a lot to be desired, and from my experience, there's no controller support outside of basic tank controls. There's a lot of room for improvement, but with a total playtime of around half an hour, I just don't think it's worth the money right now, even at such a low price point.1 found this helpful
A nice little poem in the Silent Hill vein. Through the skill of the camera and audio captures the emotions of the character and uses few words to tell the story1 found this helpful
Pretty cool little horror type game. It definitely has that nostalgic silent hill feel to it especially with the walking mechanics and the locked camera angles. I feel the game was way to short unfortunately. I would of liked more game play but for what it is I feel it was cool. The sound effects were good enough. The monsters were creepy, and I like how just like old school games there was no hand holding in solving the puzzles and letting you know what your clear objective was lol. Overall I think I would give this game a 6.5/10

While the atmosphere is good, the game is quite short—you can finish everything in 30 minutes—has no puzzles, and the story lacks important details. Despite its low cost, I would not recommend this game.
I don't really know what people find in this game. There's so much flaws, from pacing to strange decisions, that I just don't know where to even start. Story is lacking, puzzles is dull, sometimes game just don't give you enough info about what to do next and you kinda obligated to try everythung. Gladly, there's not so much options to begin with as game is short and compact. One thing that I find particularly strange is game's fixation with eyes: monsters gouging them from character, you need to collect some during final segment and there's eyes on the 'meaty' location. But they don't play any role in story at all and that's just... stupid I guess? I mean, it's an ommage to Silent Hill, so I kinda expect some MEANINGS, you know? But there's none at all, it's just thing for the sake of it. Story itself is bland and forgettable, gameplay is lacking and unbalanced (sometimes I died just as I step into new location — screen goes black as I open the door and right after that there's scene where I die). Even for a project made by one man it's bad — there's a lot of better games than this that made by single devs. Dissapointing
