I really liked the intro and outro, and they give the game a cinematic feel. The atmosphere is great, and the story kept me interested, even if some parts were a little predictable. Overall, it's a decent little horror game!

Neat little game with wonderful atmosphere and a shallow narrative. But hey, it's free, bro.

Very interesting game, awesome atmosphere. Don't particularly understand why the back door has no function in the short story, when the front door is used twice. Would play again if I had memory loss.

I was really excited to play this game, but my excitement faded in like 2 seconds when I realized most of this game is just doing bs with boxes, also just straight up had to reset the game because it was lagging like crazy, the only explanation I can think of is it not liking Medal (an app used to make clips), but even if that is the case, I've played waaaaaay more intense games while Medal was running in the background and they still didn't lag this badly, I can run almost any modern Resident Evil game without running into issues but apparently this 600 mb game is too much, sure bud I didn't finish it, the lagging was effecting the audio to a point where it was genuinly driving me insane and this game doesn't have any save feature so I would have to play through the entire thing again, I hate hating on small free indie games, but playing this was nothing, but frustration the entire time, I'm sure I would've enjoyed the story atleast Maybe I'll return to it some day, but who knows when that's gonna be

After playing, I can confirm that the windows aren't actually gone, but the main character's wife is. Either she got AIDS or Jason Voorhees got her I don't remember how she died.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
