✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's solid design and effective tension-building, with the story generating genuine enjoyment. The main criticism centers on requiring a full replay to access alternative endings, though some players consider this a minor issue rather than a major flaw. Overall, the game resonates positively with most reviewers despite this replay requirement.

Recommended Oct 24, 2025

Pretty good game that is well designed. The Payphone does tension well and I can't really think of any complaints besides the fact that you need to play the game all over again to see the other ending. This isn't a bad game and I enjoyed the story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCdROWF7cw8

Nice little hidden gem was invested in the story from get go. And thanks for putting in such generous checkpoints in the sewer section for the not so great gamers like me who are scared of the dark. I would have loved an option to continue near the end to see the other ending as well.
